Measurement systems analysis (MSA) is an experimental technique to support improvement by evaluating and determining how much error there is within a measurement system. The AS13003 standard stipulates the requirements to establish an acceptable measurement system for use on aerospace parts and assemblies. MSA is critical to process control, quality, and process improvement. This practical workshop demonstrates how to assess the performance of new and existing measurement systems and how to introduce improvements when necessary. Participants will learn how to ensure that measurement systems meet key requirements to ensure reliable process control data and reliably distinguish good parts from bad ones.
Learning outcomes:
- Demonstrate the importance of MSA within a Zero Defects improvement program.
- Understand how to conduct an analysis for continuous data and attribute data.
- Show how to interpret the results of measurement studies to make improvements.
- Discuss organizational challenges in performing measurement studies and how to overcome them.
