INTRODUCTION FOR MEASUREMENT SYSTEM ANALYSIS (MSA 4th Edition)
When implementing any statistical method that relies on data, it is important to be sure that the systems that collect that data are both accurate and precise. A set of procedures, often referred to as “Gage Studies”, are widely used to assess the quality of measurement systems. MSA is a necessary methodology for distinguishing between variation within a business process and variation within the measurement system used to collect data from the business process.
