French term or phrase: chaine de cote
Case study assembly of the Airbus A380...I am considering "chain of dimensions" here but suspect there is a better term. TIA, Jason.

Au lieu de prendre les bâtis comme référentiel (avec toute une problématique de **chaine de cote**) l’idée maitresse consistait à aller mesurer directement l’avion, c’est-à-dire les éléments les uns par rapport aux autres dans leur propre référentiel. L’autre objectif était également de proposer des solutions d’assemblage sur des interfaces complexes (forme ovoïde, double pont). L’idée d’assemblage par la mesure à convaincu les responsables du programme A380!
