Agreed.

Litmus can't be "calibrated". I'm surprised noboby questioned it as an example of "equipment" :D

One of the best examples of monitoring and measuring equipment is one we're all pretty familair with - the car dashboard and instrumentation. As has been already discussed, most car temp gauges aren't calibrated, but the speedometer should be - because you're likely to risk some kind of penalty (well, in most countries) for either ignoring it (!) or it being inaccurate (I have experience, I nearly got a ticket for that!).

Similarly, fuel gauges are notoriously non-linear (most of the cars/trucks I have owned a plagued with such a gauge) so estimating when to stop for fuel is difficult, given that fuel stations may not be close, as the gauge registers 'E'. We compensate by stopping more frequently to 'top up' rather than trust the gauge - which wouldn't make sense in a business environment.

So, given some journey objectives - to arrive on time, without a blemish on your driving records etc., some car instrumentation needs calibration for measurement purposes, some don't because they are indicators, used to monitor......

Hi All

So Monitoring comes before measuring ?

What If I am for example trying to monitor and measure Financial Performance for example , what would be the monitoring method?


What about Supplier relationship status ? ( Active /On Hold )

Thanks for the clarification

How to differentiate the monitoring and measurement? Also,the differences between the monitoring devices and measuring devices?
You may monitor the process, but measure the output. An example is measuring the thickness of the pin. You may use a suitable gauge to measure the thickness depending on the discrimination of data needed. You will monitor the process producing these pins using a I-MR chart or other control chart to monitor the process that produces the pin. This is just one example.
Your monitoring equipment is your counter that tracks the tool usage that ensures you produce a compliant pin. Monitoring devices are things that proactively tell you if you are going to have a failure anytime soon. The measurement devices, tell if you how you are performing at the moment.
