Introduction to Measurement Mass‚ Length‚ and Volume Introduction Much of what we know about the physical world has been obtained from measurements made in the laboratory. Skill is required to design experiments so that careful measurements can be made. Skill is also needed to use lab equipment correctly so that errors can be minimized. At the same time‚ it is important to understand the limitations of scientific measurements. Concepts Measurement Significant figures Accuracy

Work measurement analyst define this as the time it should take an experienced and well-trained operator to perform the job in a specific and well-defined method at a speed that can be maintained all day‚ day after day‚ without undue fatigue. This time‚ called standard time‚ can be divided into several parts: the actual elements used to perform the job; the rating
