Abstract

So far we have dealt with various measurement problems which arise in a single measurement laboratory and which can be resolved within that laboratory. There often arise, however, measurement-related problems whose analysis and resolution involve several measurement laboratories. A typical example is the implementation of a new technology and/or product by enterprises which have different geographical locations. Suppose a pilot plant located in Texas, USA, develops a chemical process for producing new artificial fertilizer. An important property of this new product is that a certain chemical agent, which is responsible for underground water pollution, is present in very small amounts. Later on, the new process will be implemented in eight branches of the pilot plant which are located in different parts of the USA and elsewhere. The quality of the fertilizer produced in each branch will be controlled by the local laboratory.
