Course Overview

Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) is an experimental technique used in the workplace to support improvement by evaluating and determining how much error there is within a measurement system. The AS13003 standard stipulates the requirements to establish an acceptable measurement system for use on aerospace parts and assemblies.  MSA is critical to ensuring process control and quality, and is an essential foundation for process improvement.  This practical workshop demonstrates how to assess the performance of new and existing measurement systems and highlights how to introduce improvements when necessary. Participants will learn how to ensure that measurement systems deliver on the key requirements to ensure reliable process control data, and reliably distinguish good parts from bad parts. 

• Demonstrate the importance of MSA within a Zero Defects improvement programme

• Understand how to conduct a Measurement System Analysis for Continuous and Attribute data

• Show how to interpret the results of measurement studies to make improvements
