  • Understand and set up the drift method
  • Optimise calibration intervals for the company’s measuring instrument base
  • Reduce MIM costs while also limiting risks based on novel strategies
  • Managers of measuring instrument bases
  • Companies with an instrument base that includes dimensional gauges or standards such as ring and plug gauges, set of measurement standards, gauge blocks, calliper gauges, etc.
  • Have Optimu software (V6 minimum) and know how to use the MIM module
  • Basic knowledge of metrology
  • Basic maths skills
  • Be in possession of a calibration results history* (if not on Optimu, then a printed or computer generated list)*

By the end of the course, the participant will be able to set up the drift method and give a reasoned case for the calibration intervals best suited to the company’s measuring instrument base, thus guaranteeing the industrial risk while reducing calibration costs.
