Arrangement of the metrology field is a condition to satisfy a series of needs in science, health care, industry, assurance of quantity and quality of products and services, quality system, environment protection, etc. In the case that metrology field is not able to satisfy the needs that meets, it would represent the limit in work and development of other fields, in which it plays a significant role. Consequences of that state may be very serious, with financial losses higher than investments in assurance of suitable state in the field of metrology.
However, there are rare examples when for metrological activities it was possible to provide unlimited financial and other resources. Just for the series of limitation in the development of some metrology institute, as the particular problem, states definition of directions in development of the institute, in order that it may gives maximal effects for given investments or available resources.
Based on this, in the paper are pointed out some of the problems in defining the development of metrology institute.

The participation of the developing countries in the international commercialization put even stronger emphasis to the operation of the quality systems throughout their whole economy (industry, agriculture, scientific research, public health services, higher education, etc.) The operation of these systems need ever more sophisticated and expensive instruments. These instruments also are a sizable part of national wealth.
The stable operation of measuring instruments, which has essential importance in the performance of the quality systems, needs support (background) services and in the developing countries there is a considerable shortage in these services.
This paper summarizes the elements of the technical background of the instrumentation support services which are essential in the safe operation of the quality systems and presents the latest experience gained in the application of the Hungarian method (Systems Approach) in different countries, introduces the conception for the efficient establishment and provides information on the sustainability of such services.

In most of the industrialized countries manufacturers of measuring instruments and bodies rendering services for tests and calibrations have to have calibrations and tests repeated at present. With more than 230 countries recognized by the UNO and about 100 countries active on the world market, this is a considerable cost factor for the supplier, and a waste of resources for the national economies. Starting off on the basis of the status quo in fundamental, industrial and legal metrology and the relevant institutions, the necessary measures to be taken to achieve world wide recognition of type approvals and/or certificates will be described. One essential step took place in the field of fundamental metrology on 14 October 1999 in Paris by the signing of a Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) of the Meter Convention for calibration and measurement certificates issued by national metrology institutes. ILAC is about to elaborate a concept for the recognition of certificates in the field of industrial metrology, and so is OIML in the field of legal metrology.

The least developed countries of the world whose internal developments are uneven and diversified may not be able to sustain in a globalised world if their products can not compete with the products of developed countries. Further, the competitive strength of a nation in global development is measured through production and market flexibility, information flow, sound financial base, adequate legal framework for business and commerce, skilled personnel and modern style of management process. The export items of those countries are very much confined to traditional commodities with less export value. Hence, in order to develop an industrial sector as an important means of earning foreign currency by improving the quality, productivity and the production of exportable items, one should have an organization responsible for the promotion of industrial development through setting standards and certification of industrial products along with Transparent international measurement traceability to promote import substituting and export promoting industries on the basis of competitiveness.

Currently the 75 % of the metal products obtained in the metal processing industry are produced by machining methods. Due to the importance of the subject, many detailed studies are being undertaken in the related fields. The frequently encountered problems in the machining processes are the selection and determination of the cutting and propagation parameter values, tool geometry, material of the piece to be produced, cutting medium and the cutting equipment. Briefly, a proper and suitable selection of these parameters is achieved by providing a database for the machining operation, which is determined to be suitable to the present working conditions of the plant.
