How To Perform Measurement System Analysis (MSA) : Attribute Gage R & R

The document discusses how to perform a Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA). It states that an attribute gage R&R study should be conducted for each gage used in the measurement system based on criteria for a variable gage R&R study. The results should be documented and may be required for a PPAP submission. If issues arise later, a new study can be performed and compared to previous data to check for changes. Properly performing an MSA can significantly improve data and product quality.

How to Perform Measurement System Analysis (MSA)

21

 Attribute Gage R & R


 The attribute gage study should be performed based on the same criteria
listed previously for the Gage R & R study.
 During MSA, the Gage R&R or the attribute gage study should be
completed on each of the gages, instruments or fixtures used in the
measurement system. The results should be documented and stored in a
database for future reference. It may be required for a PPAP submission to
the customer.
 Furthermore, if any issues should arise, a new study can be performed on
the gage and the results compared to the previous data to determine if a
change has occurred. A properly performed MSA can have a dramatic
influence on the quality of data being collected and product quality.
Key terms and definitions
22
 Attribute data – Data that can be counted for recording and analysis (sometimes referred to as go/
no go data)

 Variable data – Data that can be measured; data that has a value that can vary from one sample to
the next; continuous variable data can have an infinite number of values
 Bias – Difference between the average or mean observed value and the target value

 Stability – A change in the measurement bias over a period of time

 A stable process would be considered in “statistical control”

 Linearity – A change in bias value within the range of normal process operation

 Resolution – Smallest unit of measure of a selected tool gage or instrument; the sensitivity of the
measurement system to process variation for a particular characteristic being measured
Key terms and definitions
23

 Accuracy – The closeness of the data to the target or exact value or to an


accepted reference value

 Precision – How close a set of measurements are to each other

 Repeatability – A measure of the effectiveness of the tool being used; the


variation of measurements obtained by a single operator using the same tool to
measure the same characteristic

 Reproducibility – A measure of the operator variation; the variation in a set of data


collected by different operators using the same tool to measure the same part
characteristic
