Decision Rule Guidance comprehensively covers the three pillars of measurement—uncertainty, metrological traceability, and decision rules. It delves into specific and global risks, offering examples and calculations to guide readers through the nuances of measurement decision-making.

The book is a call to action for the metrology community and related fields to elevate their measurement standards, ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency.

Written to bridge the gap in understanding and applying measurement rules and risks, the guide simplifies complex concepts into actionable insights. It aims to empower technicians, engineers, and decision-makers with the knowledge to make informed choices that enhance the quality, safety, and reliability of products and services.

“The comprehension and execution of decision rules appear to lack consistency, as many existing documents are hard to follow,” says Zumbrun, president of Morehouse. “Our goal is to offer simplified guidance that educates and inspires better practices within the metrology field and beyond.”

Zumbrun has more than 25 years of industry experience in metrology, specifically in force and torque measurements. Cenker is the senior metrologist and calibrations product manager at IndySoft. Shah is the most experienced of the three, 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.

With a combined wealth of experience, the authors have observed the challenges faced by the metrology community and seek to address them head-on.

The book, co-authored by Henry Zumbrun of Morehouse Instrument Co., Greg Cenker of IndySoft, and Dilip Shah of E = mc3 Solutions, offers foundational knowledge and practical calculations for implementing decision rules in measurement uncertainty. It promises to be an invaluable resource for professionals across various industries.
