Gage Repeatability & Reproducibility (GR&R)
Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
Often, the results we get from what we measure & inspect may not be accurate or precise enough, leading to wrong judgment and ultimately causing millions of dollars of business loss & unhappy customers. This makes us ponder over questions about the accuracy of the measuring instruments we use, Or measurement methods and measurement process we deploy. The 1-day introductory workshop on Measurement System Analysis (MSA) is designed to be very hands-on coaching on various aspects of measurement system analysis with the goal of providing the participants a good understanding of overall aspects of Measurement System setup, process, identifying & correcting measurement errors, audits & sustenance.
