Introduction: The category of Measurement System

• Most industrial measurement system can be divided two categories, one is variable measurement system, another is attribute measurement system. An attribute gage cannot indicate how good or how bad a part is , but only indicates that the part is accepted or rejected. The most common of these is a Go/No-go gage.

Introduction: Where does the variation of measurement system come from?• The Five Characterizations of Measurement System: 1. Location Variation: Bias; Stability; Linearity Bias is the difference between the observed average of measurements and a reference value. Bias is often referred to as accuracy. It is a systematic error component of the measurement system

Introduction: Where does the variation of measurement system come from?• The Five Characterizations of Measurement System: 1. Location Variation: Bias; Stability; Linearity Stability(Alias: Drift): Stability is the total variation in the measurements obtained with a measurement system on the same master or parts when measuring a single characteristic over an extended time period. A stable measurement process is in statistical control with respect to location.

Introduction: Where does the variation of measurement system come from?• The Five Characterizations of Measurement System: 2. Width Variation: Repeatability; Reproducibility; Gage R&R Reproducibility is the variation in the average of the measurements made by different appraisers using the same gage when measuring the identical characteristics of the same part. It is between-system variation, commonly referred to as A.V.---Appraiser Variation.

Reproducibility

Page 13: 02training material for msa

Introduction: Where does the variation of measurement system come from?• The Five Characterizations of Measurement System: 2. Width Variation: Repeatability; Reproducibility; Gage R&R Gage R&R means Gage repeatability and reproducibility, which combined estimate of measurement system repeatability and reproducibility. This combined measurement error then is compared with the process output variability to compute the gage percentage R&R (%R&R). The %R&R is the basis for making a judgment of whether the measurement system is good enough to measure the process.

Analysis Techniques: • Currently there are three techniques for variable measurement system and four techniques for attribute measurement system analysis were recommended by AIAG MSA Reference Manual.

• Range Method

• Average - Range Method

• ANOVA

• Short Method

• Long Method

• Hypothesis Test Analyses

• Signal Detection Theory

• Followings are some practical examples to illustrate how to perform four methods respectively.

Analysis Techniques: Preparation before MSA

1. The approach to be used should be planned.2. The number of appraisers, number of sample parts, and number of repeat readings should be determined in advance.3. The appraisers should be selected form those who normally operate the instrument.4. The sample parts must be selected from the process and represent its entire operating range.5. The instrument must have a discrimination that allows at least one-tenth of the expected process variation of the characteristic to be read directly.6. The measurement procedure should be defined in advance to ensure the consistent measuring method.

1. General Gage R&R Study: The Average and Range Method

The ANOVA Method

The common step for conducting Gage R&R study:1. Verify calibration of measurement equipment to be studied.2. Obtain a sample of parts that represent the actual or expected range of process variation.3. Add a concealed mark to each identifying the units as numbers 1 through 10. It is critical that you can identify which unit is which. At the same time it is detrimental if the participants in the study can tell one unit from the other (may bias their measurement should they recall how it measured previously).4. Request 3 appraisers. Refer to these appraisers as a A, B, and C appraisers. If the measurement will be done repetitively such as in a production environment, it is preferable to use the actual appraiser that will be performing the measurement.

Page 17: 02training material for msa

For extreme cases, a minimum of two appraisers can be used, but this is strongly discouraged as a less accurate estimate of measurement variation will result.5. Let appraiser A measure 10 parts in a random order while you record the data noting the concealed marking. Let appraisers B and C measure the same 10 parts Note: Do not allow the appraisers to witness each other performing the

measurement. The reason is the same as why the unit markings are concealed, TO PREVENT BIAS.6. Repeat the measurements for all three appraisers, but this time present the samples to each in a random order different from the original measurements. This is to again help reduce bias in the measurements.

The average range for each operator is then computed.

The average of the measurements taken by an operator is calculated.

A control chart of ranges is created. The centerline represents the average range for all operators in the study, while the upper and lower control limit constants are based on the number of times each operator measured each part (trials).

The centerline and control limits are graphed onto a control chart and the calculated ranges are then plotted on the control chart. The range control chart is examined to determine measurement process stability. If any of the plotted ranges fall outside the control limits the measurement process is not stable, and further analysis should not take place. However, it is common to have the particular operator re-measure the particular process output again and use that data if it is in-control.

Repeatability - Equipment Variation (E.V.)

The constant d2* is based on the number of measurements used to compute the

individual ranges(n) or trials, the number of parts in the study, and the number of different conditions under study. The constant K1 is based on the number of times a part was repeatedly measured (trials).

The equipment variation is often compared to the process output tolerance or process output variation to determine a percent equipment variation (%EV).

Repeatability and Reproducibility( Gage R&R)

The gage error (R&R) is compared to the process output tolerance to estimate the precision to tolerance ratio (P/T ratio). This is important to determine if the measurement system can discriminate between good and bad output.

The basic interest of studying the measurement process is to determine if the measurement system is capable of measuring a process output characteristic with its own unique variability. This is know as the Percent R&R (P/P ratio, %R&R), and calculated as follows:

Process or Total Variation:If the process output variation (m) is not known, the total variation can be estimated using the data in the study. First the part variation is determined:

Rp is the range of the part averages, while K3 is a constant based on the number of parts in the study.The total variation (TV) is just the square root of the sum of the squares of R&R and the part variation

Analysis Techniques: Variable Gage Analysis1. The ANOVA Method:

A weakness with the Average-Range method of using the range to determine gage R&R is that it does not consider the variation introduced into a measurement through the interaction between different conditions (appraiser) and the gage. Consequently, to account for this variation an analysis of variance method (ANOVA) is utilized. In addition, when the sample size increases, use of the range to estimate the variation in not very precise. Furthermore, with software packages readily available, the ANOVA method is a viable choice.The total variation in an individual measurement equals:

The part to part variation is estimated by p2; the operator variation is estimated by

o2; the interaction effect is estimated by op

2; while repeatability is estimated by r2

Analysis Techniques: Variable Gage Analysis1. Acceptability Criteria:The gage repeatability and reproducibility: %R&R (P/P ratio: % total of total variance; P/T ration:% total of tolerance): Less than 10% Outstanding 10% to 20% Capable 20% to 30% Marginally Capable

Greater than 30% NOT CAPABLEFor the P/P ratio and the P/T ratio, either or both approaches can be taken depending on the intended use of the measurement system and the desires of the customer. Generally, If the measurement system is only going to be use to inspect if the product meets the specs, then we should use the %R&R base on the tolerance (P/T ratio). If the measurement system is going to be use for process optimization/characterization analysis, then we should use the %R&R base on total variation (P/P ratio).

Page 29: 02training material for msa

Analysis Techniques: Variable Gage Analysis1. Acceptability Criteria:For a Gage deemed to be INCAPABLE for it’s application. The team must review the design of the gage to improve it’s intended application and it’s ability to measure critical measurements correctly. Also, if a re-calibration is required, pleasefollow caliberation steps.If repeatability is large compared to reproducibility, the reasons might be: 1) the instrument needs maintenance, the gage should be redesigned 2) the location for gaging needs to be improved 3) there is excessive within-part variation. If reproducibility is large compared to repeatability, then the possible causes could be: 1) inadequate training on the gage, 2) calibrations are not effective, 3) a fixture may be needed to help use the gage more consistently.

Analysis Techniques: Variable Gage Analysis1. The Measurement Bias: Using a certified sample, and a control chart of repeated measurements, the bias of a measurement process can be determined. Bias is the difference between the known value and the average of repeated measurement of the known sample. Bias is sometimes called accuracy.

Process Variation = 6 Sigma Range

Percent Bias = BIASProcess Variation

Page 31: 02training material for msa

Analysis Techniques: Variable Gage Analysis1. Linearity: Linearity of a measurement process is the difference in the bias or precision values through the expected operating range of the gauge. To evaluate linearity, a graph comparing the bias or precision to the expected operating range is created. A problem with linearity exists if the graph exhibits different bias or precision for different expected operating ranges.By using the following procedure, linearity can be determined.1) Select five parts whose measurements cover the operating range of the gage.2) Verify the true measurements of each part.3) Have each part be randomly measured 12 times on the gage by one operator.4) Calculate the part average and the bias for each part.5) Plot the bias and the reference values. 6) Calculate the linear regression line that best fits these points.

It is important to note that, when using control charts, one must not only watch for points that fall outside of the control limits, but also care other special cause signals such as trends and centerline hugging.Guideline for the detection of such signals can be found in many publications on SPC.

Acceptability criteria: If all measurement results (four per part) agree, the gage is acceptable. If the measurement results do not agree, the gage can not be accepted, it must be improved and re-evaluated.

Conclusion: Because table 1 listed measurement results are not whole agreement, at part 15# and 17#, appraiser’s decisions are not agree. so the battery length gage can not be used and must be improved and re-evaluated.

Analysis Techniques: Attribute Gage Study• Hypothesis test analysis depends on cross tabulation method which needs to take a random sample of 50 parts from the present process and use 3 appraisers who make 3 measurements on each part and decide if the part is acceptable or not. Appraisers measure the parts and if the part is within limits they give “1” and if not they give “0” and write those results in a table. In order to eliminate any bias produced, the labeled samples are mixed before giving to appraisers for identification in each trails.

In order to determine the level of agreement among the appraisers, we applied Cohen’s Kappa which is used to assess inter-rater reliability when observing or otherwise coding qualitative/categorical variables. It can measure the agreement between the evaluations of two raters when both are rating the same object.

Step 2. Compute the row totals (sum across the values on the same row) and column totals of the observed frequencies.Step 3 Compute the overall total (show in the table 3). As a computational check, be sure that the row totals and the column totals sum to the same value for the overall total, and the overall total matches the number of cases in the original data set.Step 4 Compute the total number of agreements by summing the values in the diagonal cells of the table.

So we shall determine if there is a misunderstanding with appraiser C that requires further training and then need to re-do MSA. The final decision criteria should be based on the impact to the remaining process and final customer. Generally, the measurement system is acceptable if all 3 factors are acceptable or marginal.Minitab also can perform attribute gage analysis, but it didn’t declare the acceptability criteria, so it is not recognized by QS9000 standard.

Analysis Techniques: Attribute Gage Study• Signal Detection Theory is to determine an approximation of the width of the region II area so as to calculate the measurement system GR&R.

Also used filler gage as example to perform Signal Detection approach. The tolerance is 0.45 ~0.55mm. The process needs to take a random sample of 50 parts from the practical process and use 3 appraisers who make 3 measurements on each part, and then got following table: Table 8

Analysis Techniques: Attribute Gage Study

• Long Method is used the concept of the Gage Performance Curve (GPC) to develop a measurement system study. It focuses on assessing the repeatability and bias of the measurement system. The purpose of developing a GPC is to determine the probability of either accepting or rejecting a part of some reference value.

Page 55: 02training material for msa

• The first step of Long Method is the part selection. It is necessary to know the part reference value which was measured with variable measurement system. The approach should select 8 parts as nearly equidistant intervals as practical. The Maximum and minimum values should represent the process range. The 8 parts must be measured 20 times with the attribute gage. We use “m” to represent the measuring times, use “a” to represent the number of accepts. For the smallest (or largest) part, the value must be a=0; For the largest (or smallest) part, the value must be a=20; For the 6 other parts, the value 1≤a≤19.

Page 59: 02training material for msa

Analysis Techniques: Attribute Gage Study• The fourth step: Base on Gage Performance Curve to find XT value at Pa = 0.5%

and Pa = 99.5% (using normal probability paper can get more accurate estimates).

We also can use Statistical Forecast calculation to get the XT value. XT = 0.264 at Pa = 0.5% XT = 0.184 at Pa = 99.5%

 Bias = XT (at Pa = 0.5%)-USL = 0.264 – 0.2 =0.064

 The repeatability is determined by finding the differences of the XT value corresponding to Pa = 99.5% and Pa = 0.05% and dividing by an adjustment factor

of 1.08. Repeatability = XT(at Pa = 0.5%) - XT(at Pa = 99.5%)

Page 60: 02training material for msa

Analysis Techniques: Attribute Gage Study

• Conclusion: Because the filler gage repeatability is 7.4% , Bias is 6.4%. Both of them are less than 10%, so the gage can be accepted to use.

Four Methods Comparison

• The four methods for attribute measurement study have respective feature. The Short method look like simple, but it need to select enough parts which are slightly below and above both specification limits, and must measure variable reference value in advance. Hypothesis Test didn’t need to measure the variable reference value, so it is feasible for manufacturing, but it need large sample size. Signal Detection method can determine an approximation of the width of the region II area so as to calculate the measurement system GR&R. Long method is used the concept of the Gage Performance Curve (GPC) to assess the repeatability and bias of the measurement system. When the importance of the measurement system need to be highly assured, the Signal Detection method and Long method would be necessary. Although the statistical calculation process for above methods is complex, now we are designing a software to be able to perform the four methods process and calculation.
