MEASUREMENT SYSTEM ANALYSIS

It is often stated, "What you Value- you Measure", and to measure the same, you must have a Measurement System. The modern day business measurement metrics emphasize on performance measurements such as ROI, Profitability, Lead Time, etc. These measurement metrics make it imperative for the organization to have a reliable and consistent Measurement System in place.

All Measurement Systems are directed at monitoring and controlling variation. That is, emphasis must be placed on learning how the measurement system interacts with the environment so that only data of acceptable quality are generated. An appropriate statistical study (R&R, Bias, Linearity and Stability) has to be conducted in each type of measuring and test equipment system. Software on Measurement System Analysis was developed with the following objectives:

	To quantify the variation present in the measurement system
	To ensure the stability of the measurement system
	To initiate appropriate actions

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES

The above Training provides a complete insight into:

	Creating an awareness about MSA in your organization
	Training and Developing the Quality Professionals/ Executives to validate their measurement systems
	Assisting the Executives to analyze the result of the MSA & helping them to further drill down to the causes of variation
	Developing the team to comply to the TS16949:2002 Standard requirements

The Programme is Beneficial to

	Companies who need Data Analysis for their Business process
	Companies who have Measurement Systems to Control & Monitor their processes
	Companies who are applying to TS16949:2002 Certifications or are TS16949:2002 Certified
	Companies who have adopted Process Quality Improvement tools in their business
