A measurement is the action of measuring something, or some amount of stuff. So it is important to measure certain things right, distance, time, and accuracy are all great things to measure.

Answer:
What is the importance of measurement?
You ask: “Why are measurements important?”
What gets measured gets fixed.
One of my engineer friends gave me that mantra, and as life has happened I have seen the truth in it. On the other hand, I believe it was Stephen Covey who said:
It doesn't matter how fast you climb if the ladder's against the wrong wall.
More analytically, I see measurement primarily as a tool for comparison - that is, measurement is useless in a vacuum. In fact, I guess measurement is, by definition, a comparison - of that which is measured to a standard (e.g., “how many meters” compares x to the standard length of the meter).
More frequently, two similar phenomena are compared by first comparing each to the standard:
Is it farther to Chicago or to Dallas?
Is the distance to my destination more or less than my maximum daily travel rate?
Is Mary taller than Sue?
Is Sue tall enough to ride the roller coaster?
How many miles did we cycle this week?
At that rate, will we reach our destination by next Thursday?
How many tons will the steel beam support?
How many tons does the bridge structure weigh?
Sometimes, however, we become obsessed with measurement - particularly objective measurement - to our detriment. There are sometimes important attributes or characteristics that are difficult to measure or quantify but which have a greater relationship to the outcome than characteristics or attributes that are easily measured. If Mary spent 40 hours creating a painting and Sue spent 100 hours creating another, which is the better painting?
