Measurement Systems Analysis Training Course

Course aim: Learn about methods used to assess the quality of a measurement system, and to understand the sources of variation present and the impact on the measurement result.

Course description: This one-day course provides an overview of Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), and the approaches used to analyse both attribute and variable measurements systems defined in the Measurement Systems Analysis reference manual.

How will you benefit?

This course will help you:

Understand the statistical properties of measurement systems
Understand how measurement systems errors can affect the quality of the output data leading to incorrect decisions
Understand the different approaches used for both attribute and variable measurement systems
Understand the sources of measurement systems error

Prerequisites

You should be able to demonstrate the following minimum competencies prior to attending the course:

IATF 16949:2016 Requirements Training Course OR
IATF 16949:2016 Transition Training Course

Who should attend?

Anyone supporting the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) process especially those involved in gage design, process measurement and initial process studies to support new product and process introduction.

What will you learn?

Delegates will have the knowledge to:

Identify the correct measurement systems analysis tool to use when evaluating measurement systems
Identify whether a measurement system is acceptable for its intended use
Identify the different sources of variation present in a measurement system
Identify, stability, bias, linearity, repeatability and reproducibility

Delegates will have the skills to:

Analyse both variable and attribute gages
Conduct stability studies, bias studies and linearity studies
Conduct repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R) studies on variable measurement systems
Conduct measurement systems study on attribute measurement systems using risk analysis methods
