18. Metrics:
Dynamic
Quality
Framework
• We need to go up and down in quality and the translation
industry’s use of quality evaluation models and metrics
needed to reflect this,
• We need industry benchmarking to strengthen and
improve the credibility of quality assurance processes,
• We need to lower cost of quality assurance at buyers and
providers.
" We achieve this through an industry shared
knowledge base and shared tools
for benchmarking.
