Provides guidance for developing a formal gage management system Measurement Systems Analysis describes the importance of instrument calibration and what a gage management system entails.
Shows how to assess a measurement system
Looks at variation, uncertainty, linearity, and stability. Includes action for dealing with problems.
Explains how to conduct gage repeatability and reproducibility studies
Including R&R for destructive, non-destructive, and attribute measurements.
Offers tips for improving measurement systems
Includes how to find root causes of repeatability and reproducibility problems. Also, explores basic causes to investigate.
Helps establish a solid foundation of calibration practices Measurement Systems Analysis discusses common calibration practices, looks at measurement errors due to calibration problems or damaged gages, and shows you how to avoid common pitfalls.
Discusses ISO standards for calibration systems
Includes sources for procedures, from primary national standards to working standards.
Allows progress to be monitored
Users log on when they begin Measurement Systems Analysis. Their progress in the training is tracked and scores on the MSA challenges are recorded. At any time, the training administrator can access the student tracker to see who has completed which challenges and the resulting scores.
Save time and money
Stop wasting key resources developing and conducting classroom training. Computer-based training requires 40-60% less training time than traditional classroom training which means less time away from the job.
Lower training costs Measurement Systems Analysis costs less than registration fees and travel expenses for just one employee to attend MSA training! And, you can use Measurement Systems Analysis to train as many employees as you like.
