Measurement System Assessment

Course Overview

This course teaches participants the fundamental concepts and methods needed to assess the capability and reliability of measurement systems. Both the Range and ANOVA methods of Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (Gage R&R) studies are covered in detail. Knowledge of basic algebra is helpful.
