QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Measurement System Analysis (AS13003)
Course Details
The aerospace industry is highly reliant on inspection to ensure that parts and assemblies meet drawing requirements. Ensuring that measurement systems are capable and repeatable is vital to the effectiveness of the inspection process.
The purpose of this training is to define the application of appropriate measurement system analysis tools and the acceptance criteria to be applied within the aerospace sector. It shall also provide guidance on the efficiency of application (read across) and mitigation strategies for non-capable measurement systems.
What you will gain
- Demonstrate why measurement is important and what can be done to improve a measurement system.
- Understand how to conduct a measurement system analysis for continuous and attribute data.
- Focus on how to interpret the results of measurement studies to make improvements to the measurement system.
- Understand the links between measurement system analysis and additional quality tools.
