Test equipment capability according to MSA manual (AIAG) and company guidelines

Requried course: Fundamentals of statistics

When SPC (Statistical Process Control) was introduced in industry at the beginning of the 1980s, this was accompanied by worker self-inspection. This meant that the worker was responsible for the quality of the parts he produced. So-called SPC measuring stations were established close to production in order to be able to assess the characteristics of the part produced. Capability analyses were carried out for the measuring devices used in order to prove their suitability for the specific application.

The AIAG’s MSA (Measurement Systems Analysis) manual, which has been continuously improved over the years and on the basis of which company guidelines were derived, served as a guideline for the procedure. Further statistics for evaluating the measuring system were introduced in a guideline of the German automotive industry. We will introduce you to these approaches and provide you with the necessary specialist knowledge in this training course.
