The focus of this course is to review and give participants an understanding of the concepts of measurement system analysis.  Participants will learn the concept for assessing, measuring, and improving the reliability of the measurement system.  The course will expose participants to the different sources of measurement variation and techniques to identify, isolate, and reduce measurement variation. The course is designed to help personnel understand sources of variation and the differences between inherent variation and special causes of variation.   A cause and effect diagram will be used to identify the sources of measurement variation and how measurement system variation effects decisions effecting the process.   The course will focus on how to measure bias, linearity, and repeatability and reproducibility, along with the actions necessary maintain a reliable measurement system. Participants will apply the principles using hands-on exercises to reinforce the learning.
