| One company I visited, had over 13,000 instruments in their calibration system. They'd contracted all of the calibrations with a metrology laboratory that "optimized" their calibration intervals for them. The number of instruments found "Out-of-Tolerance" dropped from 5% (650 instruments) per year to less than 0.5% (only 65 instruments)! This reduced their risk (of "Out-of-Tolerance" instruments being used to inspect product), reduced their administrative costs (associated with performing "Out-of-Tolerance" impact analysis), and reduced their total annual cost for calibration services (fewer calibrations were performed)! | One company I visited, had over 13,000 instruments in their calibration system.
