Abstract

To make correct decisions about manufacturing process, the process courses must be regularly monitored for production quality and must be evaluated. That is why a measurement system analysis (MSA) is a vital component for many quality improvement initiatives in production enterprises.
In this paper authors presented a new methodology (new control charts: the appraisers differences between averages control chart and the %R&R index control chart) that can – in easier and faster way until now – properly identify the variation of measurement system and evaluate measurement system usefulness. That evaluation is based on data by using statistical, analytical and graphical tools. The aim of this paper is to describe this new conception – new control charts designed for aided measurement system usefulness and ability estimation . An example is presented. This procedure is using already existing measurement data – measurements taken for statistical process control and it is possible to be carried out during the realization of manufacturing process, along with SPC (as an additional module to manufacturing process control).

Keywords: Measurement System Analysis (MSA), Repeatability and Reproducibility (R&R), usefulness, control charts
