  2. Measurement • It is important to define and validate the measurement system before collecting data. • Without measurement we only have opinions • The measurement system is the complete process used to obtain measurements. • Measurement error is inevitable. We must identify, evaluate, and control the sources of measurement error. • Any variation can be attributed to either the characteristic that is being measured, or the way the measurements are being taken.

  3. Measurement

  4. Sources of error Measurement error = the effect of all sources of measurement variability that cause an observed value to deviate from the true value being measured. • Measuring instrument errors: • Accuracy • Linearity • Stability • Precision • Measuring system errors • Repeatability • Reproducibility

  5. Defining Error • Accuracy = difference between the observed average and reference value. • Linearity = change in accuracy across the expected operating range of the measuring instrument • Stability = consistency in the measurement over time • Precision = standard deviation between measurements • Repeatability = variation obtained by one operator measuring the same characteristic with the same instrument • Reproducibility = variation in the average of measurements taken by different operators using the same instrument.

  6. How to measure error? • Multiple measurements of one single characteristic • Precision: Standard deviation among measurements • Accuracy: Difference between the observed average and the reference value • Measurement System Analysis (MSA) =when precision and accuracy measurements are assed in combination • Attribute and Variable Gage studies • Reproducibility • Repeatability • Transactions • Measurement evaluation studies can apply… however it may not be economically viable

  7. How to measure error? • Measurement system bias: assessed via the calibration program Observed value = master value + measurement offset total= product + measurement system • Measurement system variability: assessed via the variable R&R study Observed variability = product variability+ measurement variability 2total= 2product+ 2measurement system

  8. Defining sources of error • CE (fishbone) diagram can be helpful in representing potential causes of measurement error (so they can be addressed) • Measurement, material, manpower, mother nature, methods and machines • Think of a process (MSA) for measuring a part. What are some of the causes of measurement error that you can think of? • Define the variables that can influence the measurement system.

  9. MINITAB Output of analysis • Control charts (X-Bar and R) • Show discrimination, stability and variation in the range of measurements for each part • ANOVA • For estimating error source and their contribution to overall variability • Linear Regression • Estimate the linearity of system response • Charts and Scatterplots • Used to study variation between and across operators and parts

  10. Gage R&R • Attribute Gage R&R • At least 2 operators measure 20 parts at random (twice each). • If there is little consistency between operators then the measurement system must be improved. • Variable Gage R&R • Three operators measure 10 parts with the same nominal dimension in a random order, 3 times each. • Can by analyzed by X-Bar and R charts or with ANOVA method.

  11. Crossed Gage R&RExample 21.6 • Used for determining which portion of the variability in measurements may be due to the measurement system. • n=units; 2≤ n ≤ 10 • m= appraisers; 2 ≤m ≤3 • w= trials; 2 ≤w ≤3 • Total should be ≥20 • Use the MINITAB function: • Stat>Quality tools>Gage Study>Gage R&R Study (crossed) • Examine the Xbar / R charts, what do they tell us • Examine the AVONA results (DATA set in appendix)

  12. Example 21.6

  13. Attribute Gage R&R StudyExample 21.7 • Evaluates the consistency between measurement decisions to accept or reject. • Use the MINITAB function: • Attribute agreement analysis • What does the data tell us? (DATA set in appendix) • Remember that attribute-based measurement system cannot indicated how good or how bad a part is, only if it was rejected or accepted.

  14. What do the numbers tell us? • As a general rule of thumb: • R&R indices > 30% are considered unacceptable • Number of distinct categories indices<5 are considered unacceptable • % Variation that Gage R&R contributes: • % Variation that operator contributes
