Description

Fundamental to collecting data on any process or equipment is a characterization of measurement. This includes variables data such as CMM measurements, laboratory measurements, or any measurements made on a continuous scale, as well as attribute inspection data into categories (e.g. pass/fail or defect categories). Data, which do not come from an accurate measurement system, may lead to erroneous conclusions.

This course provides the participants with an understanding of basic measurement process terminology including discrimination or resolution, bias, accuracy, precision, repeatability and reproducibility, along with measurement precision assessment. It provides the methodology to plan, conduct, analyze, and interpret measurements system capability study, which includes a gauge repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) study for variables data and attribute measurement study techniques for attribute data such as inspection processes. Questions such as operator differences, gauge drift issues, overkill, and escapes are addressed.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for engineers, quality professionals, researchers, and managers who need to use data in statistical applications and who want to ensure that data is suitable for analysis.

Learning Objectives

Through training, participants will learn how to:

  • Understand and use basic measurement process elements such as resolution, accuracy, bias, precision, and repeatability and reproducibility
  • Plan, conduct, analyze, interpret, and present gauge studies for estimating precision (gauge r&r for repeatability & reproducibility analysis)
  • Improve the precision of a measurement process

General FAQ 1

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
