2. • 1. Determine which measurement system
will be studied ACCORDING TO MSA PLAN AND THE STUDY OF GAGE R &
r.
• 2. Establish test procedure IN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS FOR GAGE R
& r.
• 3. Establish the number of sample parts, the number of repeated readings,
and the number of operators that will be used.
• 4. Choose operators and sample parts.

3. Measurement as a Process
• As in any process, regardless of the
nature of data collected or generated,
measurement systems must
demonstrate
–Stability through time, or control
–Minimal variation as a proportion of
specifications, or capability
–Minimal variation as a proportion of
process variation

5. Definition of Terms
A Measurement System Analysis (MSA) is a
specially designed experiment that seeks to
identify the components of variation in the
measurement.
• Reference Value
– The theoretically or agreed upon correct value of
the characteristic being measured, traceable to
some standard
• Resolution
– The smallest increment, or unit of measure,
available from a measurement process
– Generally at least 1/10th of the specification
range

6. • Precision
– The degree of agreement (or variability)
between individual measurements or test
results from measuring the same
specimen(s)
• Accuracy (Bias)
– The difference between the average of the
measurement error distribution and the
reference value of the specimen measured

We will look at “repeatability” and “reproducibility” as primary contributors to
measurement error

10. Measurement System Terminology
Discrimination - Smallest detectable increment between two measured values.
Accuracy related terms
True value - Theoretically correct value.
Bias - Difference between the average value of all measurements of a sample and the
true value for that sample.
Precision related terms
Repeatability - Variability inherent in the measurement system under constant
conditions
Reproducibility - Variability among measurements made under different
conditions (e.g. different operators, measuring devices, etc.)
Stability - distribution of measurements that remains constant and predictable over time
for both the mean and standard deviation.
Linearity - A measure of any change in accuracy or precision over the range of
instrument capability.
