ASSESSMENT OF THE TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF THE FUNCTIONING OF THE SYSTEM OF VERIFICATION BODIES

Abstract

Background. An important component of the metrological support of technical systems is the verification of measuring instruments, performed in the verification departments that are part of the metrological services. The quality of functioning of technical systems as a whole largely depends on the effectiveness of the functioning of verification bodies. The relevance of the topic is due to the importance of the tasks of ensuring the effectiveness of verification activities in the organization of the work of verification bodies. The purpose of the work is to analyze and justify the composition of the performance indicators of verification work, to develop and describe approaches to their calculation, taking into account the structural and functional parameters of the system of verification bodies. Materials and methods The research is based on the use of probability theory, queuing theory, reliability theory and qualimetry in relation to the problems of evaluating the effectiveness of the system of verification bodies. Results. The composition of indicators of effectiveness, efficiency and resource intensity for assessing the effectiveness of verification work is considered. A description and basic calculation ratios for determining indicators in relation to a distributed system of sources of service requests and verification bodies are given. Conclusion. Using the considered approaches, a number of important technical and economic indicators of the effectiveness of verification work in the system of verification bodies can be determined. The results can be used both in the analysis and evaluation of the results of the activities of existing verification bodies, and in substantiating options for organizing and planning verification work.
