Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
Introduction
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.
Benefits Of Attending The Course
The course 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?
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.
