Quality : Conformity to the standards and fulfillment of customer expectations

Quality during productionQuality Systems/Quality Assurance

Quality for marketing

•During production we have to do every thing right !•After production, during marketing, we have to prove that we have done it right, so we have to perform tests to convince the purhasers. •But after production full tests can’t be done on all products, so we need an assurance that all goods confirm to specifications and expectations

Quality and MSTQ Systems




Area Purpose

Production Improve the qualityTrade Fairness, justice

Import Control Prevent low quality productsExport Control Increase international market share

Technical Barriers Put technical barriers to protect local industry

Is for Consumer Protection

MSTQ Systems effect almost all aspects of our life


Main Drivers•GATT/TBT Agreements•Customs Union Agreements•Bi-lateral Trade Agreements•Harmonization (mostly EU)•Globalization

Outcome•Three Levels of Structure (International, Regional, National)•Importance of Regional Organizations is increasing•Multi-lateral Recognition Agreements are quite common•Conformity Assessment Network is established

Test once, market everywhere. But the tests should be accepted by the purchaser.Number of international trade partners is in thousands.How can the “acceptance problem” solved?

Measurements are the basis for the conformity assessment processes

Need for a uniform and structured system after industrial revolution. Studies for such a system lasted for more than 300 years. In 1875 a harmonized system was established.This System is called the “Meter Convention” and is the oldest

international agreement still operational.

IBRD Support of MSTQ System in Turkey



Understanding and philosophy of UME in 1992

Conformity Assessment System of Turkey should be compatible to the International and Regional (European) Systems

UME is the major player in the Turkish Conformity Assessment System

UME must operate along the lines of well established metrology institutes

UME should be an important part of the International Metrology System

UME should be able to sign recognition agreements

In 15 years UME should close the the gap of 100 years, and IBRD projects are the main tools in order to accomplish this task.

Brief Development of UME


ChallengeMeasurement science and technology (metrology) should be well ahead of other branches of science and technology.

A metrology institute should be able to calibrate any equipment the customer has. In order to do that, metrology institutes should have better measurement systems and techniques compared to their customers.

What happens if the customer has the state of the art measurement system the money can buy (frequently the case)?

Then metrology institutes must develop their own measurement equipment and techniques that are better than any commercial system.

This requires rather advance research, wide cooperation among similar institutes and is very costly.

Brief Development of UME


Advantages of Using IBRD Funds

Structured Decision MakingWell established and long term rulesCentralized information/advise pointSecured and planned fundingLow indirect and real costs

Disadvantages of Using IBRD Funds

Generalized rules, in some cases not enough flexibilityReplacement of key IBRD staff during the life-time of the ProjectHigh direct and apparent costs

IBRD Experience


Main ChallengeDo every thing right and with a high quality

Be fast and efficient

Go by the book

Success depends on the “book” and optimization of these normally orthagonal (non-compatible) parameters.

IBRD Experience


Problems EncounteredIBRD

Not enough flexibility in some cases

Borrower (Turkish Government)Coordination between Treasury and State Planning Office.Compatibility of IBRD and local rules.Providing the necessary inputs for the Project such as

Counterfund fundingStaffing

Implementing Agency (TUBITAK/UME)Adoptation to mostly strict rules (not to be able to understand the logic behind the rules).Inability to solve procurement related problems in a short time.Preparation of technical specifications for procurement.

IBRD Experience


Suggested Solutions•Splitting the Implementation Rules as General and Project Specific Rules

•Assigning an organizational advisor to act as an arbitrator with a similar role of Engineer in the construction projects •General Rules are fixed throughout the Project•Project Specific Rules can be modified by the suggestion of the Advisor and acceptance of IBRD and the Implementing Agency

Role of UME in the MSTQ System


In TurkeyMeasurements constitute roughly 20 billion USD/yearDirect calibration, test and measurement market is worth 100 million

USDDirect conformity assessment market is 500 million USD10% of industrial exports are directly effected by the conformity assessment system (3 billion USD/year)

UME contribution to GNP in 2003 is 250-470 million USD depending on the model used.

Up to now total spending for UME is 76 million USD in 12 years.



UME has started with 12 people and 200,000 USD worth of equipment in 1992. In that year total income from industrial services was 12,000 USD and UME could handle only 1% of the calibration requests.

With two IBRD Projects, at the end of 2003, UME had 190 people, 1,600,000 USD industrial income and could handle 80% of calibration requirements of Turkish Industry.

At the end of 2006, UME plans to have 300 people, 3,000,000 USD industrial income and will be able to handle 95% of calibration needs of the industry.

Main Progress of UME (1992-2006)



MSTQ System of Turkey and UME today

MSTQ System is compatible to European practices except in legal metrology and some areas in testing.

Legal Metrology will be ready in couple of years.

New test laboratories are being established.

UME is part of European System and is well accepted by the International System.

UME takes part in the management of many metrology organizations.



Understanding and new philosophy of UME in 2002

Now UME has fulfilled all the targets set in 1992 in 10 years, rather than initially anticipated 15 years, more ambitious targets can be set:

In 10 years UME should become one of the major metrology institutes in the world, helping for a larger share of Turkish exports.

UME should have a very important role in Turkey for the usage of sophisticated measurements and techniques for the scientific and technological development of the country.

UME should provide the necessary know-how to the industry for more efficient, profitable and reliable production.



In the last ten years there was a tremendous development in Turkey in the area of conformity assessment.

UME played a very crucial role in this development.

Two IBRD projects that supported the MSTQ System in Turkey have played a very important role in this development.

Thank You for your patience
