The BEC is offering a one-day session in Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA). Participants gain basic understanding of measurement and gauging systems. Anyone responsible for calibrating, using, evaluating or caring for measuring instruments and measuring systems should attend. A fundamental understanding of basic statistical methods, although beneficial, is not a prerequisite. This session is based on the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) – Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) Manual.

Content:

ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) – advantages, disadvantages and interpretations
Categories of measurement error
Factor of 10 Rules – Defining discrimination and resolution
General guidelines and terminology for measurement system analysis
Introduction to standard forms used for MSA evaluations
ISO/TS 16949:2002 and ISO 9001:2000 gaging requirements
Measurement system variation: stability, bias, repeatability, reproducibility, part-to-part variation, and linearity
Methods for attribute gage analysis: short and long method
Setting up and maintaining a calibration system
Setting up and performing measurement system studies to determine stability, bias and linearity

Upon completion, you will be able to:

Evaluate gage stability, bias and linearity
Perform a GR&R study utilizing various analysis methods
Provide input to the APQP process to ensure GD&T Datums are coordinated, or made equal, throughout the manufacturing process and throughout the measurement process
Understand consequences and causes of measurement system error
Understand the basic principles of measurement system evaluation
