CALYPSO and program ownership

1. More than one person can safely open, navigate, and understand active CALYPSO programs.

2. The team understands which program edits are safe and which require programmer review.

3. Program revisions, report changes, and approval expectations are controlled.

4. The team can explain the measurement strategy behind key characteristics, not just run the program.

Setup, fixture, probe, and datum discipline

5. Operators use a consistent setup method for the same part family or job type.

6. Fixture, probe, stylus, and qualification requirements are documented well enough for backup coverage.

7. The team understands how datum strategy affects setup, alignment, and reported results.

8. Setup variation is treated as a process risk, not just an operator issue.

Troubleshooting and measurement confidence

9. The team has a repeatable way to separate part variation from measurement system variation.

10. False rejects, repeatability issues, and unexplained shifts are escalated with useful evidence.

11. The team knows what to check before blaming the CMM, program, fixture, part, or operator.

12. Troubleshooting knowledge is shared across the team instead of living with one person.

Reporting, review, and communication

13. Operators and reviewers understand what the CMM report is telling them.

14. Report review expectations are clear before results are sent to production, quality, or customers.

15. The team has a clear escalation path when results do not make sense.

16. CMM findings are communicated in a way production can act on.

SOPs, training, and backup coverage

17. Critical CMM tasks have usable work instructions or SOPs.

18. Training is tied to real production tasks, not just software features.

19. The team has backup coverage if the primary CMM person is unavailable.

20. Ownership is clear for programs, fixtures, reporting, training, and process updates.

What happens after you submit

You can use the basic score immediately. If you submit your information, Wolf Metrology receives the score, section breakdown, lowest-scoring area, and your notes for review.

The self-check is meant to help determine whether the issue looks like training, SOPs, handoff, setup discipline, troubleshooting habits, reporting clarity, or one-person dependency.
