Why is precision so important?

"Take from all things their number and all shall perish." St. Isidore of Seville

Pretty stark words…but think about it. Wouldn't you feel a little uncomfortable learning that the brake gears in your car fit together "okay"….but not particularly well? Or one of the jet engine components in the plane you're taking to your sister's wedding wiggles around a bit at high altitudes? Or the holes in your plastic toothbrush from the dentist are a little too big….and you have fibers stuck between your teeth on company picture day?

Okay, that last example wasn't exactly life-threatening. But think about everything—and we mean everything—you use on a daily basis. We've measured toothpaste caps. Chapstick. Martini glasses. Car floor mats. Slushee machines. Brake gears. The list goes on. Everything is measurable. Everything needs to be measurable.

That's why precision is so important to us here at M2M. Lack of precision on a tube of chapstick means a messy purse. Lack of precision on a brake gear means a fatal accident. That's why we so strongly believe in what we do here. We believe in the importance of quality.

"We measure what you make...so you can make it better."
