MSA Introduction
-
Do you use gages or measurement systems in your processes?
-
Have you considered the capability of your gages or measurement systems?
-
Are gages or measurement systems you use suitable for your processes?
-
Are gages or measurement results operator dependent?
-
Are gages or measurement results consistent over time?
Define and understand a measurement system and the causes of variation; qualify the sources of variation; design or choose appropriate systems for measurement, data collection and use; maintain these measurement systems over life of the manufacturing process. MSA is necessary to ensure that Measurement Systems have the necessary capability to detect changes in your product or process performance. It is essential to have a reference to standards so that product and process specifications are consistent. Consequently, Measurement Systems Analysis is required by ISO or TS Standards (e.g. ISO TS 16949). This course has a practical hands-on approach in numerical computation for manufacturing or service. This course enables the delegates to understand the use of Measurement Systems Analysis.
Benefits Of Attending The MSA Training
The MSA training enables the delegates to:
- Conduct measurement system studies including assessment of linearity, stability, repeatability, and reproducibility.
- Differentiate components of variation in a measurement system.
- Understand the improvement of MSA studies.
- Develop the ability to compare gauge variation to tolerances.
- Establish gauge correlation and corrective factors.
- Establish measurement control systems.
- Establish meaningful guards bands for incapable gauges.
Who Should Attend The MSA Training ?
Management, Managers and Production Supervisors. Quality Managers, Quality Systems and Lab Technicians, Management Reps, those interested in auditing MSA, or responsible for planning, using and maintaining measurement systems; engineers; metrology technicians; those responsible for process improvements. Teams are encouraged to attend for maximum benefit.
