Seminar Content
This two-day seminar is designed to provide participants with an understanding of
the importance of MSA in controlling and improving the production process and to
give students a practical knowledge of using statistical methods in analyzing the
measurement system.
The approaches discussed and employed in this course are consistent with the intent
and guidelines in the MSA4thEdition Reference Manual issued by GM, Ford and FCA
through the AIAG.
Who Should Attend
- Quality Managers
- Quality System and Lab Technicians
- Management Representatives
- Internal Auditors who audit MSA
- Persons responsible for planning, using and maintaining measurement systems
- Engineers and individuals responsible for process improvement
Recommended Training and/or Experience
A basic understanding of computational mathematics, a partial understanding of elementary
applied statistics, and a basic background in statistical process control are important.
Seminar Materials
Each participant will receive a seminar manual and a workbook including all team
breakout exercises.
Seminar Goals
- Explain bias, linearity, stability, repeatability and reproducibility
