 + 
 +This video (from Ruby Metrology) shows user's how to check or verify Vernier, Dial and/or Digital Calipers performance (wear pattern of OD jaws, ID jaws, Depth & Step Parameters) by using Multi-function, Multi-dimensional Length Standard Quick Check. All sides of Quick Check are usable.

 +I visited one company where a critical process underwent a Standard Work Audit every hour... performed by a different member of the team working in that process (the auditor role was rotated amongst the team). While ISO 9001 & AS 9100 auditors might question the "impartiality" of the "auditor" performing the Standard Work Audit, none of the "auditors" ever audited their own work. Instead, this approach was, essentially, a "buddy audit" (or "associate audit") approach. This ensured that the entire team was "on the same page" in understanding the process.
