My Personal Crusade Understanding Gauge R&R Mark S. Rusco Innovative Corporate Training markrusco@sbcglobal.net
Each is just a Standard Deviation. From Page 115 of the MSA (2nd Paragraph) And from Page vi What do EV, AV, RR represent?
Page 55 reminds us to add variances, not standard deviations. You can add variances, but not S.D.
A simple example This Standard Deviation defines the Error of Width This distance defines Error of Location 78
Bias Linearity Stability Averaging several readings does not help. Found by measuring known standards. Eliminate/minimize by calibration. Errors of location
Repeatability Reproducibility Averaging several readings reduces error. Found by repeated measurements of the same parts. Minimize by operator training, gauge improvement, etc. Errors of width
R & R are both Standard Deviations We combine them as Variances to get GRR There’s a major difference between Errors of Location and Errors of Width. Summary so far
Pg 74, in bold letter, tells us how to sample You’re not sampling correctly
“selected from the process” is not: • Consecutive parts • Random Parts • At least one part should be as small as normally expected, and one part should be as large as normally expected. All the other “in-between” parts don’t really matter. You’re not sampling correctly
Start with Equation for %GRRtv You’re not sampling correctly
Substitute in EV and AV for RR. Substitute in RR and PV for TV You’re not sampling correctly
Substitute in EV and AV for RR on the bottom • %GRRtv is driven by PV. You’re not sampling correctly
What drives PV? PV = Rp x K3 Rp = Biggest Part – Smallest Part You want Rp to be as big as possible, so %GRRtv is as small as possible. You’re not sampling correctly
Sort through your parts to find the biggest and smallest part you can find. This makes Rp big, which makes PV big, which makes %GRRtv small. Small %GRRtv makes your life easier. Summary of sampling
You know the Standard Deviation of your Gauge System. Is it a good gauge? Can the gauge discriminate between Good/Bad Parts? Can the gauge detect process variation? Interpreting the results
Can the gauge discriminate between Good/Bad Parts? Answered by %GRRtot tol Interpreting the results
Can the gauge detect process variation? Answered by %GRRtv Interpreting the results
Just because %GRRtv <10% and %GRRtottol <10% doesn’t mean the situation is good. • Which situation is better for your company? • %GRRtv = 6% and %GRRtt = 9% • OR • %GRRtv = 15% and %GRRtt = 9% Interpreting the results
Understand the difference between %GRRtot tol and %GRRtv Don’t plug your data into software and blindly accept the %GRR values. Summary of interpreting results
