MSA (Measurement System Analysis) is defined as an experimental and mathematical method of determining the variation introduced into a process by the measurement action itself. Measurement system variation can contribute directly to the overall process variability; therefore, MSA is used to certify the measurement system by evaluating its accuracy, precision, and stability.
Essential Information:
- Duration: 2 days
- Recommended participants: 5-10
- Level: Advanced / Metrology and Statistics
Target Audience:
- Technical staff from production, quality, engineering, maintenance, or management departments.
- Personnel involved in internal system, process, or product audits.
- Technical staff from metrology laboratories.
- Entrepreneurs and Consultants.
- Employees interested in professional development and ensuring data reliability.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Identify and understand the sources of variation within the measurement process.
- Master the basic concepts: accuracy, precision, bias, linearity, stability, repeatability, and reproducibility.
- Perform Gage R&R studies to determine the correctness of inspection decisions (for both continuous and attribute data).
- Make correct decisions regarding the acceptance or rejection of lots from suppliers.
- Use MINITAB software to perform MSA studies.
