MSA studies are a branch of Design of Experiments. Learn to perform valid studies on systems such as Torque, Surface Roughness, Tensile Strength, Single Reading Devices, and many other systems. NOTE: Computers and MinitabTM software will be used in this seminar; please bring a laptop if possible.

Seminar Content Overview Reviewing the Components of Measurement Systems Analysis Understanding Sources of Variation Using the Standard Forms Understanding MinitabTM and performing standard studies Interpreting Results Interactions between the Operator and the parts they measure Understanding Analysis of Variance Two Measurement Systems with Single Observations Expressing Measurement Uncertainty: Uc K, and Uc Rules for Expressing Measurement Uncertainty (GUM) Confidence Limits for the True Value Calculating the Probability that a Single Reading is Out of Spec Advanced Studies Using ANOVA Multiple Measurement Systems Single Observation Measurement Systems MSA and Nested Samples Multiple Components of Reproducibility Variation MSA where the Measurement Changes the Part MSA and Destructive Testing

Who Should Attend Practitioners involved in the evaluation of measurement systems and any individual making decisions based on data.
