Accurate Are Our Measurement Systems?
If the measuring instruments or systems we use to collect a set of data from a production process are not accurate, the decisions we make based on this data will be inaccurate and unwanted, defective products will be inevitable. This is why MSA is one of the most important tools in the production process.
MSA addresses the extent to which a measurement system is sufficient to provide accurate measurements by statistical methods and recommends the necessary preventive and corrective actions to prevent errors.
Within the scope of MSA, statistical studies should be performed to analyze deviations in the results of each inspection, measurement and test equipment system specified in the control plan. The analytical methods and acceptance criteria used shall be in accordance with those specified in the reference manuals for the analysis of measurement systems.
Although these systems are more important for manufacturers implementing the IATF 16949 Standard, the MSA booklet prepared by AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group) is a very important tool for all manufacturers. The relevant quality engineers and operators must have the necessary level of knowledge for an effective system installation.
Importance of MSA and Core Tools Trainings
For the effective management and use of not only MSA but also other core tools such as PPAP, APQP, FMEA, SPC, etc., every engineer who touches the relevant processes should have the necessary background. With an effective Core Tools training or MSA training, participants can learn the basics of measurement systems and gain the knowledge they will need during MSA implementation.
