USMA's membership includes the nation's top metric authorities; therefore, business/government members may obtain references to the services of qualified metric consultants/metric-education-experts with experience in the areas of metric transition and planning.
General Guidance to Companies Involved in Going Metric: A document from a U.S. Metric Association book, Guidance for Companies Considering Converting Their Operations to Using the Metric System.
