Methodological problems of determining the economic effectiveness of standards for types and principal parameters of measuring instruments

Conclusions

• 1. As the basis for the economic substantiation for making instruments with various metrological characteristics the assumption is made that the economic effect is a function of information capacity of the instrument for measuring and controlling the parameters in the process under investigation.

• 2. By information capacity of the instrument that quantity of information is understood which is obtained in the process of measuring and controlling the parameters with the accuracy and within the ranges established by essential technological needs.

• 3. At the early stages of development of standards for types and basic parameters of photoelectric instruments, it is necessary first of all to plot by the method of multiple correlation the dependence of changes in production cost on industrial-constructional and technological parameters.

• 4. In developing the expedient variant of the standard for types and basic parameters of photoelectric instruments, it is necessary to determine the national-economic effect, taking into account characteristic features of measuring instruments and of the dynamics of expenditures in the domains of production and operation of measuring during the whole planned period of output of manufactured articles and the whole period of their operation.
