Measurement Systems Analysis
In this course, you will learn to analyze measurement systems for process stability and capability and why having a stable measurement process is imperative prior to performing any statistical analysis. You will analyze continuous measurement systems and statistically characterize both accuracy and precision using R software. You will perform measurement systems analysis for potential, short-term and long-term statistical control and capability. Additionally, you will learn how to assess a discrete measurement and perform analyses for internal consistency, concordance between assessors, and concordance with a standard. Finally, you will learn how to make decisions on measurement systems process improvement.
