THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TECHNOLOGIES WHICH AID THE MEASUREMENT PROCESS FOR TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN PROBLEMATIC. FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE AUTHORS HAVE STUDIED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SENSOR SYSTEMS USED TO COLLECT DATA FOR QUALITY PURPOSES. THIRTY TWO MANUFACTURING PLANTS AROUND THE U.S. WERE INTERVIEWED TO SYSTEMATICALLY STUDY THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INDIVIDUAL SENSOR SYSTEMS. THIS PAPER SUMMARIZES THE LESSONS LEARNED FROM THOSE 32 SITES AND SHOWS HOW THEY CAN BE APPLIED TO A VARIETY OF MANUFACTURING SETTINGS.
