Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
Date : 10 to 11 September, 2026
Venue : IMTMA Technology Centre, Bengaluru
 
LAST DATE FOR REGISTRATION 03 September 2026
INTRODUCTION
 

Measurement System Analysis (MSA) is a critical first step that should precede any data-based decision making. MSA is an experimental and mathematical method of determining how much the variation within the measurement process contributes to overall process variability. The purpose of MSA is to qualify a measurement system for use by quantifying its accuracy, precision, and stability. This training program envelops the most essential spectrum of quality and measurement fundamentals and encompasses the supporting quality and Lean Tools used currently in the industries. This is followed with contemporary practices in MSA in industries.

FOCUS AREAS
 
KEY TAKE AWAYS
  • Introduction to Lean and Quality aspects
  • Descriptive Statistics, Inferential Statistics (Dispersion- Standard Deviation, Variance.
  • Frequency distributions, Normal Distribution) calculations and applications.
  • Variance for assembly
  • Sources of Variation & Need for MSA
  • Measurement concepts- Accuracy, Precision, Bias, Linearity, Stability- Evaluation & Use
  • Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (Gauge R &R) concepts and Calculations
  • Introduction to Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) approach and MSA need
  • Process Capability measurements - Cp, Cpk - & its relation with MSA
  • Concept of Statistical Process Control (SPC)- X bar, R, P and C
  • Stastical Tools- Inferential stastics- t test, z test, Regression
  • MSA for attribute gauge
  • Use of Minitab for MSA
  • Case Situations, Problems

Participants can bring their real life problems and the relevant data during the workshop. The discussions will be held on this during the 2nd day of the workshop

 

After undergoing the programme, the participants will be able to:-

  • Empower with fundamental Statistical literacy
  • Accumulate, organize the data and analyze for identifying the problem and getting the solution to the problem
  • Evaluate the variation and variability through Gauge R & R
  • Streamline the production procedures and methodologies
  • Define the process capabilities
  • Familiarise to the Process control charts and its concepts
