Measurement function

Measurement function is a useful function that reveals information about components.

Overview

The measurement function is one of the three types of providing functions (alongside supporting and transport) that can be performed within operations (components) of an engineeiring system that is a process.

As a providing function, it is valued lower than productive function but higher than the corrective one in the function ranking. In the most commonly used scoring system, it receives 2 points.

It is important to remember that a function that reveals information about components can be classified as a providing measurement function as long as measuring or detection is not the main function of the process. If it is, then it will be considered a productive function.
