In just about anything where you measure something. And, look out, one of the side effects of the digital age is that some instruments give a lot more digits than can be legitimately written down. There was a digital temperature instrrument a few years ago that read down to one millionth of a degree. Accuracy was only four tenths of a degree. Why all the other digits? A lot of cheap resolution, just average accuracy.

Quality control and engineering. It's all about measurement and how accurate and precise you are or can be in the design and manufacture of a product. Ask the guys at Toyota. They'll tell you all about quality engineering.
