Measurement Systems Assessment Training

The effective use of data to drive decision making requires adequate measurement systems. When interpreting data or the results of data analysis, we assume that data or results represent the process. However, excessive measurement error may result in inappropriate conclusions. Thus, it is critical to properly assess whether measurement systems are adequate for their intended use prior to their use. Only capable measurement systems should be utilized to support quantitative methods such as Statistical Process Control, Inspection activities, Process Capability Assessment, Hypothesis Testing, Data Modeling, etc.

MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS ASSESSMENT (MSA) TRAINING

The objective of the Measurement Systems Assessment (MSA) Training curriculum is to provide participants with the analytical tools and methods necessary to:

• Understand key sources of measurement error
• Design and Conduct Gage R&R studies to estimate measurement error components (repeatability, reproducibility)
• Interpret Gage R&R results and identify corrective actions if necessary
• Plan and Conduct Gage R&R studies for attribute systems
• Apply control charts to monitor Measurement Systems over time
• Assess Accuracy and Linearity of Measurement Systems
• Handle Non-Replicable Systems (such as Destructive Tests)
