Metrication for the manager
Abstract
Metric conversion was viewed as a major long term project affecting every department in a company. The concept favored in metrication called for various functions and areas of responsibility to prepare their own plans and conduct their own programs based on corporate policy, a metric product plan, and a set of guidelines. The intent was to begin with a product-oriented changeover to metric measurement and assimilate the change gradually, over a suitable period of time, in a manner that would be least costly and disruptive.
