Implementing Effective Measurement System Analysis (MSA): A Hands-On Workshop by Tonex
This interactive workshop is designed to enable participants to gain practical experience in implementing Measurement System Analysis (MSA) in their manufacturing processes. The workshop focuses on understanding the principles of MSA, identifying sources of measurement variation, and conducting Gage R&R studies. Participants will engage in hands-on activities to apply the knowledge learned, analyze real data, and develop strategies for improving measurement system reliability.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will:
- Learn the key principles and concepts of MSA.
- Understand how to assess and improve measurement system accuracy and precision.
- Gain practical skills in conducting Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility studies.
- Learn how to interpret MSA results and make decisions based on findings.
- Develop the ability to integrate MSA with other quality tools like SPC.
