/ Lean Manufacturing

Shigeo Shingo of Japan invented the concept called Poka Yoke in the 1960s for preventing human errors. Poka poke is a Japanese term that means Mistake Proofing or Error Proofing. Shigeo differentiated the concepts of human mistakes and defects in the manufacturing process. According to him, “defects occur only when mistakes are permitted to reach the customer”. The essential […]

/ MSA

Accuracy definition: It is defined as how close the measured value to the target/true/reference value. Decisions can be made highly effective if the measurement data have high accuracy and precision. High accuracy and precision in the measurement data can be achieved only if there will be small variations in the measurement system. Instrument/gage with high

Accuracy and Precision | What is precision in measurement?

/ MSA

Accuracy and Precision are the two important term that often comes into picture during the measurement, testing, and calibration process. The effectiveness of the decisions is based on the measurement data’s accuracy and precision. Equipment with high accuracy and high precision will always lead to better decisions, improve quality of measurement data, low variations, and

/ MSA

Gage R & R (gage repeatability and reproducibility) is the combined estimate of measurement system repeatability and reproducibility. Gage R&R study determines that whether the measurement system is acceptable or not.  In measurement system analysis, GRR study primarily focus on two types of measurement system variations –  Repeatability and Reproducibility. Both these variations are often

/ MSA

Precision meaning is the degree of closeness of the measurements with each other. How consistent our results are regardless of closeness to target/true/actual value. Precision is the degree to which an instrument/process/measurements will repeat/show the same value. Precision is defined as how close the measurements with one another, no matter whether the process/measurements are accurate or not. In measurement system
