Measurement System Analysis

The document discusses a control plan, which is a method for documenting quality control elements to ensure quality standards are met for a product or service. It provides an example control plan for machining the metal shaft of a small electric motor. A control plan formalizes and documents the quality control system that will be used.

CONTROL PLAN?
Description: A Control Plan is a method for documenting the functional elements of
quality control that are to be implemented in order to assure that quality standards are
met for a particular product or service. The intent of the control plan is to formalize and
document the system of control that will be utilized.

Example: A company is preparing to transition into production a redesigned, small


electric motor. One of the critical parts of the motor is the metal shaft. A portion of a
control plan for the machining of the shaft is given below.

Measurement system analysis


A measurement systems analysis (MSA) is a thorough assessment of a measurement
process, and typically includes a specially designed experiment that seeks to identify the
components of variation in that measurement process.

A measurement systems analysis considers the following:

 Selecting the correct measurement and approach

 Assessing the measuring device

 Assessing procedures and operators

 Assessing any measurement interactions

 Calculating the measurement uncertainty of individual measurement devices


and/or measurement systems

Common tools and techniques of measurement systems analysis include: calibration


studies, fixed effect ANOVA, components of variance, attribute gage study, gage
R&R, ANOVA gage R&R, and destructive testing analysis. The tool selected is usually
determined by characteristics of the measurement system itself.

Factors affecting a measurement process

Factors might include:

 Equipment: measuring instrument, calibration, fixturing.

 People: operators, training, education, skill, care.

 Process: test method, specification.

 Samples: materials, items to be tested (sometimes called "parts"), sampling plan,


sample preparation.

 Environment: temperature, humidity, conditioning, pre-conditioning.

 Management: training programs, metrology system, support of people, support of


quality management system.

These can be plotted in a "fishbone" Ishikawa diagram to help identify potential sources of
measurement variatio
