5 Fluke Corporation Calibration and documentation for process manufacturing: Costs, benefits and feasibility

Calibrating multiple instruments in the course of

a route reduces the cost per calibration, compared

to individually calibrating single instruments.

Route-based documenting calibrators can save as

much as 50 % of the time and cost of traditional

manual, single-device calibration methods. Stated

differently, the same lean team can accomplish

twice as many calibrations in a given period of

ment tools where large plants with that spend up

to $1.2 million could realize $600,000 per year in

annual savings.

Besides saving maintenance costs, the legal

costs and lost revenue from accidents can exceed

$100 million per incident. Good calibration

maintenance practices help reduce the probabil-

ity of such an incident. If the event that disaster

strikes, good calibration records can be a part of

a facility’s defense in the event of legal action just
