Download or read book Practical Attribute and Variable Measurement Systems Analysis MSA written by Mark Allen Durivage and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book — a result of 30 years of quality-related work experience — was written to aid quality technicians and engineers. It provides the quality professional working in virtually any industry a quick, convenient, and comprehensive guide to properly conducting measurement systems analysis (MSA). The intent of this book is to provide background and examples on the application of gage R&R methodology (test method validation) for variable and attribute data, help for those who work with devices that don’t fit the usual approach, and ideas for measurement devices that require innovation to assess their performance under off-line, static conditions. The ultimate objective is to determine how best to improve the control and performance of a process. The reader is assumed to be familiar with basic control charting methodology since assessment of statistical control of the measurement process is important. One may wonder why performing a gage R&R is so important; the simple answers are profit, public health, and safety. Companies that are shipping product that is out of specification can be subjected to expensive litigation, especially in the aviation, pharmaceutical, and medical device industries. This book will be a useful reference when preparing for and taking many of the ASQ quality certification examinations, including the Certified Quality Technician (CQT), Certified Calibration Technician (CCT), Certified Quality Inspector (CQI), Certified Six Sigma Green Belt (CSSGB), Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), Certified Six Sigma Black Belt (CSSBB), and Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE).

Download or read book Six Sigma with R written by Emilio L. Cano and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-07-04 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six Sigma has arisen in the last two decades as a breakthrough Quality Management Methodology. With Six Sigma, we are solving problems and improving processes using as a basis one of the most powerful tools of human development: the scientific method. For the analysis of data, Six Sigma requires the use of statistical software, being R an Open Source option that fulfills this requirement. R is a software system that includes a programming language widely used in academic and research departments. Nowadays, it is becoming a real alternative within corporate environments. The aim of this book is to show how R can be used as the software tool in the development of Six Sigma projects. The book includes a gentle introduction to Six Sigma and a variety of examples showing how to use R within real situations. It has been conceived as a self contained piece. Therefore, it is addressed not only to Six Sigma practitioners, but also to professionals trying to initiate themselves in this management methodology. The book may be used as a text book as well.

Download or read book Designing Performance Measurement Systems written by Fiorenzo Franceschini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given our rapidly changing world, companies are virtually forced to engage in continuous performance monitoring. Though Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) may at times seem to be the real driving force behind social systems, economies and organizations, they can also have far-reaching normative effects, which can modify organizational behavior and influence key decisions – even to the point that organizations themselves tend to become what they measure! Selecting the right performance indicators is hardly a simple undertaking. This book describes in detail the main characteristics of performance measurement systems and summarizes practical methods for defining KPIs, combining theoretical and practical aspects. These descriptions are supported by a wealth of practical examples. The book is intended for all academics, professionals and consultants involved in the analysis and management of KPIs.

Download or read book Measurement and Data Analysis for Engineering and Science Third Edition written by Patrick F. Dunn and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of Measurement and Data Analysis for Engineering and Science provides an up-to-date approach to presenting the methods of experimentation in science and engineering. Widely adopted by colleges and universities within the U.S. and abroad, this edition has been developed as a modular work to make it more adaptable to different approaches from various schools. This text details current methods and highlights the six fundamental tools required for implementation: planning an experiment, identifying measurement system components, assessing measurement system component performance, setting signal sampling conditions, analyzing experimental results, and reporting experimental results. What’s New in the Third Edition: This latest edition includes a new chapter order that presents a logical sequence of topics in experimentation, from the planning of an experiment to the reporting of the experimental results. It adds a new chapter on sensors and transducers that describes approximately 50 different sensors commonly used in engineering, presents uncertainty analysis in two separate chapters, and provides a problem topic summary in each chapter. New topics include smart measurement systems, focusing on the Arduino® microcontroller and its use in the wireless transmission of data, and MATLAB® and Simulink® programming for microcontrollers. Further topic additions are on the rejection of data outliers, light radiation, calibrations of sensors, comparison of first-order sensor responses, the voltage divider, determining an appropriate sample period, and planning a successful experiment. Measurement and Data Analysis for Engineering and Science also contains more than 100 solved example problems, over 400 homework problems, and provides over 75 MATLAB® Sidebars with accompanying MATLAB M-files, Arduino codes, and data files available for download.

Download or read book Measurement System Error Analysis written by Mike Peralta and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-02-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to carefully define and derive the statistical relationships relevant to the errors that do and can occur in measurement systems. The emphasis is on test systems employed in manufacturing. However, the statistical techniques presented are general and can be applied to any field of science, engineering, or any field which employs the mathematics of statistics to gather and analyze information. As will be explained throughout this book, knowing the statistics of measurement error for test equipment will allow us to know and improve test accuracy and precision, which in turn, will allow us to greatly improve: Product Quality, Test Productivity, and Product Yields. The center of this work is the "Test Capability Study" this is a spreadsheet based analysis that can quickly be set up and give an estimate of the overall uncertainty of a measurement based on a sampling of test systems or test configurations. The "Test Capability Study" is a streamlined and more efficient form of the "Gage R & R Study." Also covered is the "Propagation of Errors" (POE) analysis to first and second order. The first order POE is commonly treated in many fine books, but the second order POE is rarely treated. For those familiar with first order POE I think you will find it a real treat to study the second order POE as it will help you get a deeper and more accurate understanding of POE. As well as treating measurement errors, second order POE can accurately analyze variation contributions to product distributions as well as other variations in physical systems that can be defined mathematically.
