This document outlines a measurement system analysis (MSA) project to evaluate a measurement gauge. It will: 1. Determine which measurement system and gauge will be studied according to the MSA plan and gauge repeatability and reproducibility analysis. 2. Establish test procedures in different departments to analyze the gauge's repeatability and reproducibility. 3. Determine the number of sample parts, repeated readings, and operators used in the study. The document also provides background definitions and concepts for measurement system analysis, including accuracy, precision, bias, repeatability, reproducibility and their impacts on process variation. Sources of variation are identified.
