Measurement Systems Analysis and Calibration Management
Quality decisions across South African plants are only as good as the measuring equipment behind them, yet many sites lack a disciplined approach to gauge calibration and measurement system analysis. This course teaches participants how to run gauge repeatability and reproducibility studies, manage a calibration schedule, and judge whether a measurement system is reliable enough to support pass or fail decisions on product quality.
What you will be able to do
Explain the sources of measurement error that affect quality decisions.
Plan and conduct a gauge repeatability and reproducibility study on production equipment.
Interpret gauge R&R results to judge whether a measurement system is acceptable.
Develop a calibration schedule and register for critical measuring equipment.
Manage calibration records and traceability to recognised reference standards.
Decide when a measurement system needs correction, replacement, or additional operator training.
