MSA – Measurement System Analysis

Course objectives

To provide reliable guidance on the verification of procedures used to ensure process quality in accordance with AIAG MSA 4th Edition and VDA 5 requirements. Participants will be prepared for the application of MSA in their working environment. They will become familiar with instructions for the determination of measuring system capability and variability types in measuring systems.

Course content

• Introduction, core terms and nomenclature
• Reasons for check procedure evaluation and measurement system analysis
• MSA types (for continuous and attributive data), possible sources of measurement variability
• Measurement accuracy (stability, position, linearity) precision (repeatability = Equipment variation EV Repeatability and reproducibility = Appraiser variation AV Reproducibility). Verification procedures for measurement system distinctiveness.
• Exercise: evaluation of measurement system by using of Gauge R&R study
• Attributive MSA – interpretation of the procedure, examples from practice, evaluation of Attributive Agreement Analysis study
• Exercise: evaluation of measurement system by using Attributive Agreement Analysis
• Verification of measuring systems capability for automatic and destructive measuring systems, measuring instrument capability (Cgk)
• Calibration of measuring instruments - interpretation of the procedure, practical examples, assessment of calibration results, essential requirements for an accredited laboratory following EN ISO 17025 requirements.
