Faulty or Missing Information for Final Users: Ennemy #4
One cannot pretend that someone without the specific training for the use of a checking fixture, and without the instructions for it, could use it without any problems. Some guidelines or user manuals must be created to specify the process to follow for a correct use. This is the only way to get good results for measurements, that can be both reliable and avoid possible imperfections due to an incorrect use. The staff motivation increases considerably if they feel confident when using the tools that are at their disposal.
Although in a lot of occasions these tools seem to be user-friendly, this appearance can be deceptive, since by the simple fact to carry out an action before another one when fastening the part, the results can be rather different or even spoil the checking fixture repeatability.
