Measurement System Assessment

Course Overview

The objective of the curriculum is to provide participants with the analytical tools and methods necessary to:

• Understand key sources of measurement error
• Design and Conduct Gage R&R studies to estimate measurement error components (repeatability, reproducibility)
• Interpret Gage R&R results and identify corrective actions if necessary
• Plan and Conduct Gage R&R studies for attribute systems
• Apply control charts to monitor Measurement Systems over time
• Assess Accuracy and Linearity of Measurement Systems
• Compare measurement systems to each other with respect to accuracy and precision
• Handle Non-Replicable Systems (such as Destructive Tests)

The key course features are summarized below:

• 8 Modules & 36 Lessons
• Video Presentation of Concepts & Methods
• Participant Interaction via Pop-Up Questions with Feedback
• Demonstrations of Analyses using MINITAB Software
• Interpreting Results/Output
• Participant Exercises with Presented Solutions
• Off-line Instructor support available
• Participant Guide and Supporting Reference Textbook available Electronically and in hard copy

Immediate access to all course lessons discussing concepts, reviewing procedures, and flushing out context and applicability.

Plus, I’m here to support you upon request.

Lessons include text, video lectures, quick quizzes, exercises, and activities. The intent is to encourage you to immediately apply the lessons within your organization such that you can start improving your measurement system assessments.

How Long Will the Course Take?

This will depend on how many video lectures you view and how many of the sample exam problems you attempt. The course contains 8 modules, with a total of 36 lessons including 15 exercises. There are approximately 16 hours of lectures.

It is recommended that beyond the lectures, you plan on another 10 to 20 hours for reading and working the exercises. Plus, you are encouraged to ‘try this at work/home’ too.

You can always revisit a lesson or check a detail in the supporting student text.

What are the course prerequisites?

No prior knowledge of statistics or statistical software is required for this course.  Participants should simply be interested in learning how to quantitatively assess the adequacy of measurement systems.
