MSA
Measurement System Analysis

This is an overview course on the issues and techniques of analyzing measurement systems ("MS") to ensure the data produced meets the accuracy, repeatability, reproducibility, and other needs of the organization, and is continuously improved. This will assist the trainees to plan, implement, document, measure, and continuously improve their measurement systems.

The Repeatability & Reproducibility (R&R) method is covered in detail through a live, worked example.

This course is an overview of the major issues, decisions, costs, techniques, & constraints that will be faced with measurements & measuring devices. This course will prepare the trainee to perform the most common MS analysis (Gauge R&R), and determine problem areas. This course will not, by itself, prepare the trainee to determine the cause of the problems, nor optimum MSA design without further on-the-job practice and application under the training and guidance of a person with current MSA implementation experience.
