Decision Rule Guidance: 1st Edition 2024
À propos de cet ebook
This guidebook is not just a theoretical exploration of measurement uncertainty, metrological traceability, and decision rules. It is a practical tool that transforms complex concepts into actionable insights. It guides technicians, engineers, and decision-makers through measurement decision-making with examples and calculations. Using this guide, you can make choices that improve product and service quality, safety, and reliability.
The authors bring over 100 years of combined experience in the metrology field. They have addressed common challenges in the community with this guide. Henry A Zumbrun has over 25 years of industry experience in Metrology, specifically in force and torque measurements. Greg Cenker has more experience than Henry and is Senior Metrologist and Calibrations Product Manager at IndySoft. Dilip A. Shah has more experience than Greg and is a Principal of E = mc3 Solutions, a consulting practice that provides training and consulting solutions in ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 9001, measurement uncertainty, and computer applications.

Quelques mots sur l'auteur
Henry A Zumbrun has over 25 plus years of industry experience in
Metrology, specifically in force and torque measurements. From its
founding in 1920 to the present time, Morehouse Instrument Company
has grown from a local machine shop to one of the most respected
names in the calibration and measurement world. Henry likes to think
he has helped make an impact with force and torque measurements by
helping several organizations be better and make better
measurements.
Henry is passionate about helping any lab make better force
measurements. He is also passionate about Metrology, Training,
Outreach, and running a business based on doing what’s right. He is
aligning Morehouse so that everyone comes to work with a purpose.
That purpose is simple: We create a safer world by helping companies improve their force and torque
measurements. We all work as a team and help improve what we can control.
Henry supports continuous learning and, along with several degrees, is a Six Sigma Blackbelt, Lean
Champion, and Stanford Strategy Business Strategy Class graduate. He has completed the LMI
leadership program, Sandler Management Program, Sales Training, and OSHA 10. He is a current Vistage
member and constantly learns from several mentors and his business coach how to make a meaningful
impact beyond what a typical business would do.
Henry has taught various classes and sessions at NCSLI, MSC, ASQ, A2LA, etc., authored several
published papers, written a book titled “Force Calibration for Technicians and Quality Managers: Top
Conditions, Methods, and Systems that Impact Force Calibration Results,” and was the primary Author
on the “G126 - Guidance on Uncertainty Budgets for Force Measuring Devices” for A2LA. Henry is a
contributing author to NCSLI RP-3 and LM-1. He is also a co-host of the Metrology Today Podcast.
Henry has written the Chapter on Force in the Metrology Handbook 3rd Edition and written and
reviewed the Decision Rules and Measurement Uncertainty Chapter with Dilip Shah. He has been part of
the ASTM E28 committee for decades and has made several contributions to the ASTM E74 and E2428
standards through the committee.
NCSL International awarded Henry the 2022 Education and Training Award.
