Graeme Payne

President, GK Systems, Inc

USMC: not as lean, not as mean, but still a Marine! USAF: yes, I served in the Air Force as well! PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHY: business decisions should be based on data. Most data comes from measurements. To provide valid & reliable data (with a known level of risk), measuring instruments must be calibrated in a way that is traceable to a defined standard. Therefore the measurement management system must be an integral part of the business quality management system, rather than simply being treated as a cost to be minimized. PERSONAL: very happily married to the same person since 1971.
