There is no direct gold standard evidence or specific UK or European consensus guidelines for monitoring the growth of children with moderate to severe renal disease. This document therefore aims to define minimum standards for measuring and monitoring growth in children with CKD, based on local expert opinion, international committee reports, and indirectly supportive peer-reviewed clinical trials and reviews.

The linkage between model results and monitoring data can be complicated if monitoring programs are not designed to address which parameters should be monitored, timing of measurements, location, spatial scale, and resolution of measurements to match with model parameters. This is particularly valuable in the early stages of a project when the opportunity exists to alter the project to ensure long-term storage and improve efficiency.

Machine tool monitoring and control are essential for automated manufacturing. Monitoring is necessary for detection of a process anomaly to prevent machine damage by stopping the process, or to remove the anomaly by adjusting the process inputs (feeds and speeds). A process anomaly may be gradual such as tool/wheel wear, may be abrupt such as tool breakage, or preventable such as excessive vibration/chatter
