meetproces

Meetproces is the structured sequence of activities used to obtain and use measurements about a product, process, or service. The purpose is to generate data that are accurate, precise, and fit for decision making, while maintaining traceability to recognised standards. A typical meetproces includes planning, instrument selection, calibration, data collection, data processing, interpretation, and reporting. A measurement plan specifies what will be measured, how the measurement will be performed, the required accuracy, sampling rules, and responsibilities.

Key elements of the meetproces include the measurement methods and equipment, the calibration and maintenance schedules, the measurement conditions, and the documentation of results. Calibration certificates and calibration traceability ensure that results can be linked to international standards. Data quality aspects such as measurement uncertainty, repeatability, and reproducibility are assessed through measurement system analysis (MSA) and gauge repeatability and reproducibility (gauge R&R). The process often involves evaluating sources of error, controlling environmental factors, and validating the measurement system before use in decision making.

Applications of the meetproces span manufacturing quality control, laboratory testing, product development, and process improvement. Typical roles include metrologists, quality engineers, operators, and auditors. The process is guided by standards such as ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 10012 for measurement management systems, and ISO/IEC 17025 for laboratory competence. In practice, the meetproces supports decisions about acceptance or rejection, process adjustment, or design changes, and it is subject to continuous improvement to increase reliability and efficiency of measurements.
