Course Objectives
- Ensure quality of measurement data by assessing and improving your measurement system performance.
- Conduct, analyze and interpret a Variable Gage R&R study.
- Conduct, analyze and interpret stability test, bias and linearity study on your gage.
- As a practical and effective guide in applying MSA in IATF16949 organizations.
Please bring your calculators!
In this step-by-step, hands-on MSA workshop, you will learn:
- Factors that affect the quality of your measurement data
- Statistical properties of a good measurement system
- Sources of measurement system variation.
- Measurement system variation vs process variation.
- Selection of gage type, purpose, supplier
- Distinguish between variation due to accuracy, precision, repeatability, reproducibility, stability, linearity and resolution.
- Overview of measurement system uncertainty and the traceability chain.
- Methods of assessing measurement systems
- Guidelines for determining bias.
- Guidelines for determining linearity.
- Conduct, analyze and interpret a Gage R&R study – range method, average and range method, ANOVA method using Minitab software.
- Gage R&R study calculations.
- Minitab demonstration of Variable Gage R&R, Linearity and Bias study
- Methods of assessing special types of measurement systems
- Attribute measurement systems study – conduct, analyze and interpret attribute gage R&R.
- Nested Variable Gage R&R study for destructive testing – methods to obtain test samples and dealing with within part and between part variation.
- Dealing with excessive within-part variation – understand how it affects the integrity of your gage study.
- Applications of gage R&R study when sample is non random or entire process range is not feasible.
- Hands-on application of assessing a measurement system.
- Develop an effective gage qualification package to ensure the reliability of your gage
- Factors to consider, review and include, assessment of resources required
- Ensure conformance of your gages to overall requirements
- Differences between MSA 2nd, 3rd and 4th editions.
