1. Can your CMM programs be clearly explained during an audit or internal review?

2. Are measurement results stable regardless of operator or shift?

3. Is your measurement strategy documented (not dependent only on individual experience)?

4. Is technical drawing interpretation clear and consistent across the lab?

5. Are GPS / GD&T tolerances discussed and understood before programming, not after problems appear?

6. Do you have cases where results are “correct”, but still not trusted for decisions?

7. Is your CMM runtime optimized (not just accepted “as it is”)?

8. Have existing programs been technically reviewed in the last 12–24 months?

9. Can you quickly judge whether a problem comes from the drawing, programming, or measurement strategy?

10. Does your lab support management decisions, not only provide value reports?
