              • of skilled human resource: Test and measurement equipment such as tunable diode laser analyzer (TDLA), optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR), and process analyzers are required to be used by an expert in chemical and instrumentation engineering. Many of these equipment are used in manufacturing or production process. The individuals using this equipment need to have an overall understanding of the process to operate the equipment efficiently. One of the major challenges to the market is the lack of skilled human resource in the market. In many instances, end-users are not really satisfied with the use of these test and measurement equipment if they were not properly installed, serviced or calibrated properly. This also deters potential buyers to invest in these test and measurement equipment.
