3. 1. What is Measurement System?
Measurement:
A Measurement is a process by which we assign a number
to a characteristic of a product or service.
Measurement System:
# A Measurement system is a complete process used to
obtain the measurement.
# In other words, a measurement system is a combination of
- Equipment/ Instruments
- Personnel
- Methods / Procedures
- Environment
- Software
4. 2. What is Measurement System Analysis?
Measurement System Analysis:
# Measurement System Analysis, or MSA, is a formal statistical study that determines whether
the measurement systems are capable of providing reliable data so that best possible data-
driven decisions can be made
5. 3. Understanding Variation
# Total Variation = Measurement system Variation + Process Variation
# Process Variation:
- Part to Part Variation
- Within Part Variation
# Measurement System Variation:
- Equipment Variation
- Appraiser Variation
- Variation due to interaction
# Variation due to Measurement system has to be kept to minimum to identify the process
7. 4. Accuracy Vs Precision
Accuracy:
It is described as the difference
between the measured value and
actual value or closeness to the
target
Precision:
It is described as the variation in
the inspection due to
measurement system error also
known as measurement variation.
9. 5. Elements of MSA
BIAS Average measured value - True value
STABILITY Bias over a longer period
LINEARITY Bias over entire measurement range
REPEATABILITY the variation within same
appraiser
REPRODUCIBILITY The variation between the
appraiser
18. 6. Conditions for Performing MSA study
1. Optimum condition for MSA
- 3 Appraisers
- 3 Trials
- 10 parts
2. The number of parts chosen must represent the entire operating range
3. Appraisers are those who normally operate the gauge
4. One observer should be appointed to record the measurements
5. Each part must be identified
6. Measurement should be done in random order
7. The appraiser should be unaware of which numbered part is being checked
to avoid knowledge bias
8. Each appraiser must use the same method to obtain the measurements
20. 7. Benefits of MSA
# Evaluates the reliability of the measurement system
# Equipment variation can be identified
# Appraiser variation can be identified
# It is possible to assess the correctness of the measurement system.
# The method is not only applicable continuous data but also to discrete data type.
# It is possible to compare the existing system with its’ future state in a reliable way
