Measurement System Assessment (MSA)

A capable measurement system will bring about an effective and efficient implementation of any process control program and improvement initiatives. The methodology adopted for MSA is referenced to AIAG-MSA and AS13003.

This course will enable the participants to:
• Understand the fundamental principle of measurement system and its effect and impact on the quality of measurement data and the accuracy of the process analysis
• Identify the types of variations influencing the measurement system performance
• Acquire the use of statistical techniques, skills and ability to assess the measurement system
• Select the appropriate statistical methods for evaluating the measurement system in different environments
