Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) and Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Quality Core Tools Developed over 30 years ago between the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) and domestic auto manufacturers, the Automotive Quality Core Tools are the “building blocks of an effective quality management system”. Knowledge and effective use of the automotive core tools is one of the most important mechanisms for an organization seeking to develop and manage a robust quality management system. These sessions, when completed, will give the attendee an introductory overview to the four core quality tools. They are the building blocks to effectively create and manage an organization’s quality management system. Companies either IATF certified or seeking certification must understand the core tools as they are part of the continual improvement process, focusing on prevention rather than detection.Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) and Statistical Process Control (SPC) Decisions are made every-day based on the measurements taken by a measurement system. If the measuring process is changing over time, the ability to use the data gathered in making decisions is reduced. Measurement System Analysis is the process used to assess your measurement system to insure the data being used to make decisions is statistically sound and understood. This ½ day session is designed to understand the importance of MSA in in controlling and improving the production process and to have a basic understanding of the requirements of a measurement system analysis process. Stability, linearity, bias and GRR studies are included in this session. Statistical Process Control is about assessing variation in a process or product, collecting, analyzing data and making decisions to act based on the statistical data. SPC is one of the core tools utilized to help companies practice process control and continually reduce the variation of their processes. This ½ day session is designed to provide participants with a basic understanding of the importance of SPC in controlling and improving their processes/products. Topics covered include basic statistics, variation, process control, Common cause vs Special cause and the use of control charts.Training Contact: CIS Admin-Support cis.support@tennessee.edu
