Measurement System Analysis (MSA)

Course Objectives

This course covers the discipline to a measurement process, which is based on the measurement system to produce the measurement result. This system consists of five major characteristics of variation: Bias, Stability, Linearity, Repeatability and Reproducibility. The analysis methods are based on AIAG for the bias, stability and linearity (location variation). Whereas the study of repeatability and reproducibility (width variation) use the average and range method.

Get to know the measurement system concepts.
Understand the principal concepts on measurement and calibration.
Known type of measurement errors and precaution about these errors.
Understand metrological requirements when make a measurement.
Know the common sources of measurement system variation
Identify MSA parameters in a measurement system.
Conduct analysis on variation characteristics for the measurement system such as linearity, stability, repeatability, and reproducibility.
Perform Gauge R&R studies for attribute measurements and Range method for variable data.
Use both graphical and mathematical techniques to evaluate gauge variation characteristics.
Interpret and Justify the measurement system analysis results and to decide on what follow up action to be taken.
