Metrological Management at an Industrial Enterprise

Abstract

Management of metrological activity is an integral component of the management of a modern enterprise. Implementation of effective and high-quality metrological activity at the enterprise is a guarantee that the products manufactured meet the corresponding technical requirements. Therefore, definition of the concept and essence of metrological management is relevant. The article is aimed at defining the concept and essence of metrological management and developing a scheme of its application in the management of metrological activity of enterprise. It is determined that the object of metrological management is the measurement processes at an industrial enterprise; subject – aggregate of technical, technological and organizational means necessary for the implementation of measurement processes. The authors propose the approach to the formation of a metrological management system, which consists of two subsystems: 1) formation of a metrological management system, the purpose of which is to organize methodological and resource provision of measurement processes at the enterprise; 2) operation of the metrological management system, the purpose of which is to ensure the guarantee that the manufactured products meet the corresponding technical requirements. The constituents of the system are interconnected through the relationship of tasks. The scheme of application of metrological management in the management of metrological activity of an industrial enterprise and a methodology for assessing the quality of its operation are developed. The proposed approach will allow enterprises not only to build a system of metrological management, but also to implement it, which will increase consumer confidence in the quality of products and will be the key to a stable market situation.
