Measurement Systems Analysis Executive Overview (4 hours)

Description

Measurement 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 4 hours and will include detailed instruction, periodic assessments, and a certificate of completion upon successful review.

Lesson 1: Identifying and Quantifying Measurement Error

• Identify characteristics of a high quality measurement system
• Identify sources of variation in production and measurement processes

Lesson 2: Average, Variability & 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: Techniques and Methods in Measurement System Analysis

• Identify how common graphical techniques are used to analyze a measurement system, including its human operators
• Identify how to evaluate a measurement system using bias analysis, stability and linearity analyses, repeatability and reproducibility analyses, and by measuring part averages against an averages control chart
• 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

Target Audience

• Operations Manager
• General Manager
• Plant Manager
• Person with bottom-line responsibility
