The Significance of Acceptance Test Results

  • Chapter

  • 12 Accesses

Summary

The purpose of the paper is to point out the need for proper statistical assessment of the results of acceptance tests. A machine tool is a variable system and without knowledge of the variability, characterized by the standard deviation of properly repeated tests, no satisfactory comparison can be made of machines on the basis of these tests.
