A measurement plan is a custom written script that mimics a process on the shop floor for the deployment of measurement technology. These scripts are written in an effort to provide many things to a process. Such aspects as improved productivity, process repeatability, and cost are benefits of such an approach. Further, the interface to the instrument is streamlined with embedded work instructions to minimize training and employee turnover impacts. A variety of instruments may be used in the deployment of a measurement plan including, but not limited to, Portable Arms, Laser Trackers, Laser Scanners, and Laser Radar.
