Quick MSA Excel Tool

Ensure the measurement data is accurate-- Measurement systems are used every day in manufacturing, research & development, sales and marketing. Many times measurements are made without worrying about the quality of such measurements. In those instances, the measurements are not representative of the data being measured. Perhaps the measurement system is not accurate enough, introduces bias into the measurement, or is not properly being used. Without a solid MSA we could not tell with reasonable certainty if the differences in data are due to an inaccurate measurement system, or other more meaningful factors that should be addressed. We measure processes and their output to improve them, but must remember that the measurement itself, is a process. If our tool is inaccurate, we will get incorrect measurements which may result in missing defects or performing unnecessary work when the process was working fine. For this reason, we need to analyze our measurement system before colle
