MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
ANALYSIS (MSA)
BY CHINTAMANI KULKARNI
|

K A measurement system is a process by which
we assign a number to a characteristic of a
product / service.
A measurement system includes
Standard
Item of interest (Work piece)
Measurement equipment (Instrument)
Personnel / Procedure to use the equipment
Environment under which to conduct the

measurement
i.e. SWIPE

K A wrong decision may
be taken whenever any
part of the
measurement
distribution overlaps a
specification limit.
K A ³Good´ part will
sometimes be called as
³Bad´ (type I error,
producer¶s risk or false
alarm)
|
!
"" #$" $$
$%#& #$
K A ³Bad´ part will
sometimes be called as
³Good´ (type II error,
consumer¶s risk or miss
rate)
K This is most risky as
Consumer will be
suffering as ³Bad´ part
will be delivered to him
as ³Good´ part.

Measurement System Analysis (MSA)

K reals with analyzing the effect of the
Measurement system on the measured value
K Emphasis is on the effect due to equipment &
personnel
K We test the system to determine numerical
values of its statistical properties and
compare them to Accepted Standards

K Stability (or drift) is total variation in

measurements obtained with a measurement
system on same master or parts when
measuring a single characteristic over an
extended time period.
(a time period is days, not hours)

operating range of gage.

K rifference between observed average of

measurements and
value.
Reference value, also known as accepted
reference value or master value, is a value
that serves as an agreed-upon reference for
measured values. A reference value can be
determined by averaging several
measurements with a higher level of
measuring equipment.
