Measurement System Analysis

Why should you attend?

Measurement System Analysis (MSA) is a critical component in quality management, ensuring that measurement systems are reliable and accurate. This course provides an in-depth exploration of MSA, beginning with an overview of its importance in maintaining high standards in manufacturing and service industries. Participants will learn about the fundamental concepts and key terms associated with MSA, such as repeatability, reproducibility, accuracy, and precision. Through hands-on exercises, learners will gain practical experience in identifying and analyzing measurement errors. The course delves into Gauge Repeatability & Reproducibility (GR&R) studies, which are essential for assessing the consistency of measurement systems. Students will be guided through the steps to conduct GR&R studies and understand their significance in decision-making processes. Additionally, the course covers advanced statistical properties of measurement systems, including bias, linearity, and stability, using tools like Minitab for data analysis. Advanced topics include discrimination and resolution in measurement systems, where participants will learn to calculate measurement resolution and improve system design. The course also addresses the design and selection criteria for measurement systems, emphasizing the creation of golden samples for benchmarking. Practical case studies provide real-world examples of MSA applications, allowing students to apply their knowledge in group workshops. Finally, the course offers recommendations for improving measurement systems and monitoring their stability over time. By the end of this comprehensive program, participants will have a thorough understanding of MSA principles and be equipped with the skills to implement effective measurement strategies in their organizations.
