Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA)
Attendees will discover the amounts and types of variations that exist in measurement systems, to ensure that product acceptance or process control decisions are based on "good data." Attendees will also learn how to conduct studies to evaluate variability due to bias, repeatability, reproducibility, stability, and linearity. |
| TARGET AUDIENCE | COURSE LENGTH |
| Quality and metrology managers, Laboratory and technical personnel, Design, manufacturing, process, quality, and test engineers, Calibration and maintenance personnel, Environmental laboratory managers, Inspectors, technicians, SPC coordinators and suppliers. Prerequisites: Attendees should be familiar with Statistical Process Control and statistics. |
Length: 2 days Time: 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. |
