MSA Training - Measurement System Analysis

Web-Based  •  Network/LAN  •  CD-ROM

Measurement System Analysis (MSA) and Gage Management are important in controlling variation in measurement systems.  Measurement Systems Analysis Training (MSA Training), a computer-based and web-based training program can help your company comply with QS-9000 MSA requirements.

MSA includes detailed tutorials on many measurement system analysis techniques including how to conduct and analyze GR&R (Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility) Studies.  A GR&R is the accepted techniques for evaluating the level of variation in a measurement system and determining if the measurement system is acceptable for use.  Measurement System Analysis covers techniques for analyzing the variation within a measurement system, determining its suitability for use, and ways to improve measurement systems.   The GR&R analysis techniques used in MSA are in compliance with QS-9000/AIAG methods.

Once a measurement system is found to be acceptable, it is equally important to institute a formal system to manage the measurement system to ensure that it continues to be reliable and dependable. MSA explores approaches to managing measurement systems to ensure that they can be depended upon.
