Another thing about costs.
Our society takes surveys for almost anything. I
wonder if there is an organisation in the US that polls companies as to their
methods of doing business.
One thing I would like to know is how much it has
cost us for not being metric. How many businesses have lost orders or
contracts because they could not do the job in metric? How many have made
costly mistakes in converting a metric job to FFU? How many have had to
pay a premium for metric parts because they only bought enough for a specific
job? How many people have had to be terminated because they refused to
work in metric? How much has not going metric really cost us? Have
any estimates ever been made?
Metrication is a one time expense, but not going metric is
an on going expense. How many ever see it from this angle?
