During measurement process planning, all product featurs and the manufacturing process are documented. The result forms the basis for choosing the measurement method and measurement frequency. The advantage is a standardized working method where all the properties of the product are verified based on the processing tools included in the manufacturing process. The result provides a clear overview of the entire process and an opportunity to streamline the measurement setup. 

In industry, correct and unambiguous requirements specifications are an increasingly important factor in order for production to be steered towards the right quality at the right cost. When it comes to requirements for products’ geometric deviations, extensive international work is underway under the collective name Geometric Product Specifications (GPS). The purpose of GPS is to be able to describe requirements for a product’s geometry in an unambiguous way through an elaborate symbolic language, but also that related areas, such as methods for measurement and verification, uncertainties in verification of requirements and requirements for measuring equipment, should be as far as possible standardized. Through the GPS system, a toolbox is obtained for setting requirements, manufacturing and verifying the geometric properties of products where requirements can be specified and perceived in an unambiguous way for all parties.
