DescriptionMeasurement Systems Analysis examines the nature of measurement systems and the fundamental analyses used to examine them. Participants will learn about the various studies that can gage the extent of variation within measurement results and what the sources of the variation are. Sources of variation can be found by analyzing a measuring device's bias, linearity, stability, repeatability and reproducibility. This course will be most useful to persons who are accountable for maintaining the integrity of their organization's tools of measurement.
The course length is 16 hours and will include detailed instruction, periodic assessments, and a certificate of completion upon successful review. Lesson 1: Identifying and Quantifying Measurement
- Identify characteristics of a high quality measurement system
- Identify sources of variation in production and measurement processes
- Describe how the Voice of the Process model monitors process performance
Lesson 2: Location, Precision, & Discrimination
- Describe the role of standardization in measurement systems
- Distinguish between fundamental analyses utilized in evaluating measurement systems
- Identify how discrimination analysis is utilized in evaluating measurement systems
Lesson 3: Planning Measurement Studies
- Distinguish between the two kinds of measurement studies and when each should be used
- Identify key elements to be considered when planning a measurement system study
Lesson 4: Evaluating Measurement Systems
- Identify how to evaluate a measurement system using bias analysis
- Identify how to evaluate a measurement system using stability and linearity analyses
- Identify how to evaluate a measurement system using repeatability and reproducibility analyses
- Measure part averages against an averages control chart
Lesson 5: Determining System Acceptability
- Describe the concepts and calculations found on the Average and Range form
- Describe how a repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) study using the Average and Range method is performed
Lesson 6: Graphical Analysis
- Identify how common graphical techniques are used to analyze a measurement system, including its human operators
