Steps of performing MSA
Select 3 appraisers. Arrange 10 samples.
1st appraiser to take
readings of all 10
samples.
2nd appraiser then
takes reading of 10
samples.
3rd appraiser next
takes readings of 10
samples.
Follow steps 3 â 5, 3
times; total 90
reading to populate
the data table.
Calculate EV and AV.
Calculate GRR wrt
Total variation (TV)
and Tolerance (Tol)
both.

1. More than 50% points in Average graph should be outside control limits.
2. Average graph reflects the Measurement Capability of the Measurement
System.
3. Range graph reflects the Measurement Consistency of the Measurement
System.
4. All points in range graph should remain within control limit.
5. NDC reflects no of discrete categories permissible in Measurement System.

GRR â Average Chart Interpretations
Condition Interpretation Action
Less than 50%
of readings are
out of control
limits
Measurement system is not
adequate enough to capture
process variation, or
Parts does not represent expected
process variation
Improve discrimination of the
measurement system, or
Select parts representing
entire process variation
In this example, 22 out of 30 points are
outside the control limit
Since this is more than half of total
points, the conclusion is that the
measurement system is adequate to
detect part-to-part variations
More than 50% points outside control limit indicates that MS variation is much
smaller as compared to part variations, hence MS is capable of detecting part-to-
part variations.

Steps for interpreting MSA results
Purpose of range chart is to identify whether measurement process
is under control (free from special cause)
11. 11Subhodeep Krishna Deb
Condition Interpretation Action
1 or more point of
any appraiser out of
UCLr
There was a special
cause while taking
reading
Remove these readings and take
same reading again from same part
& appraiser and recalculate
GRR â Range Chart Interpretations
More than 1 point of
only one appraiser
out of UCLr
His method is
different from others
Remove these readings. Train
appraiser on method of
measurement & take readings again
1 or more than one
point of all appraisers
out of UCLr
Measurement System
is sensitive to
appraisers skill
Check why measurement is so
sensitive stop further studies before
taking action on sensitivity
In one part all
appraisers points are
out of UCLr
Part is deformed or
Damaged
Remove all the reading for particular
part and recalculate or replace the
part with new part & take readings

GRR-Acceptance Guideline
% R&R Value Decision
< 10% of TOL or TV Gauge is Capable
10 â 30% of TOL or TV Acceptable subject to analysis & justification w.r.t.
application, cost of repair & criticality
> 30% of TOL or TV Measurement system need improvement / corrective
action
Number of distinct data categories should also be checked when doing SPC,
ndc = 1.41 [PV / R&R] > 5 (best = 10)
(this means R&R should always be less that 28% of PV)
< 2, inadequate to provide data for study
= 2, it is equivalent to a go/nogo gauge
13. 13Subhodeep Krishna Deb
Product Control

deciding product

14. 14Subhodeep Krishna Deb
When Repeatability > Reproducibility
ď Instrument needs maintenance
ď Redesign gage for more rigidity
ď Improve clamping or location of gauging
ď Excessive within-part variation
Identify the right cause & solution
When Reproducibility > Repeatability
ď Appraisers needs training on better way of using the gauge
ď Needs better operational definition
ď Incremental divisions on instrument are not readable
ď Need fixture to provide consistency in gauge use.

Steps of performing MSA
Select 3 appraisers.
Take 50 parts randomly
from the process covering
the entire variation (ensure
at least 20% of the parts
are defective).
Measure all the samples
with correct measuring
instrument to collect the
reference data for each
sample.
Conduct trial runs as per
nomenclature of 3
appraisers; perform 3 trials
for each operator.
Note the readings in table.
Populate the table with
450 data in total and
perform calculations as per
below method.

1. After collection of all the data assign a code for each row i.e. considering 9
observations of each row(3 of each appraiser) as per below nomenclature:
2. Arrange the reference value & codes in descending orders
3. Calculate top width d1 (distance between last part accepted by all the
appraisers to the first part rejected by all (for all specifications)
4. Calculate top width d2 (distance between last part accepted by all the
appraisers to the first part rejected by all (for all specifications)
5. Calculate average width AW = d1+d2/2
6. Calculate % R & R = (AW/Tolerance)*100

Steps of performing MSA
1. Take 50 parts randomly from the process covering the entire variation (ensure
at least 20% of the parts are defective
2. Get measurements on the parts by the operators as 1 (for OK) and 0 (for NOT
OK) decisions
3. Similar to X bar R method perform three trial runs for each set of samples for
each operator. Total 450 data to populate the table.
4. Get these parts measured / decided by a MASTER (an experienced) person for
the results to be used as REFERENCE
5. Compare each trial of each inspector with the another inspector for their
decision
6. Complete the cross tabulation table, shown in next slide

⢠100% subjective inspection is not 100% effective
⢠200% inspection is less effective than 100% (no ownership, conflict, multiply
individual effectiveness)
⢠Rate of improvement noticed will be less than actual improvement for subjective
inspections
⢠There are more chances of mismatch in acceptance criteria between customer &
supplier
Limitations:
32. 34Subhodeep Krishna Deb
1. Collect min 20 samples covering good, bad (include marginal one which is part of process)
2. Decide the reference value-It should be inline with internal / external customer
requirement. Team should come with common consensus on reference value
3. Identify the parts with numbers
4. Ask a operator who is regularly checking these product to separate good and bad parts
5. Record his decision about every part as good and bad
6. Repeat step 4 and 5 with 2-3 operators for at 2-3 times
7. Calculate Effectiveness of inspection, miss & false alarm
8. Decide whether measurement system is accepted

Plan
â˘Prepare complete gauge list.
â˘Categorize all gauges to Major Gauge Groups which need to be covered in given time line.
â˘Refer control plan of each process to identify importance and criticality of each gauge. Select gauge as per criticality.
â˘Considering point 2 & 3 prepare MSA Plan.
â˘Plan not more than 2 MSA per day.
Perform
â˘100% gauges of the Gauge â list need not be covered.
â˘Perform MSA as per MSA plan.
Present
â˘Analyze and Conclude study with interpretation.
â˘For MSAs out of acceptable limit, take necessary action and again perform MSA.
â˘Part with lowest tolerance to be taken for MSA.
38. 40Subhodeep Krishna Deb
Points to be confirmed before starting MSA
1. No of Parts X No of Appraiser should be minimum 15
2. Appraisers must be the users of the measurement system
3. Parts to be numbered from 1 to n (10) so that numbers are not visible to
appraisers
4. Gauge should be calibrated
5. Parts should be clean and dent free
6. Measurement should be in random order
7. All parts should be retained after study till completion of study
8. Observer should have a ref copy of the MSA readings
9. 10 samples should represent the maximum process variation; follow Systematic
sampling for selection.
