Read Marcus Overview

Measurement System Analysis (MSA) is an experimental and mathematical method of determining how much the variation within the measurement process contributes to overall process variability.

There are 5 parameters to investigate in an MSA: bias, linearity, stability, repeatability, and reproducibility. MSA analyzes the collection of equipment, operations, procedures, software, and personnel that affects the assignment of a number to a measurement characteristic.

Topic FAQ

What is Measurement System Analysis (MSA) and why is it used?

Measurement System Analysis is a quantitative evaluation of the tools, procedures, and people used to capture data, used to determine how much measurement variation contributes to overall process variability. It assesses measurement reliability by investigating parameters such as bias, linearity, stability, repeatability, and reproducibility.

What are the main components of measurement error I should assess?

Measurement error components commonly evaluated include resolution, accuracy, linearity, stability, repeatability, and reproducibility. These elements help quantify how measurement tools and procedures deviate from true values and how that deviation affects data quality, with specific focus on resolution and repeatability.

How does a SIPOC help with measurement system work?

A SIPOC (Suppliers, Inputs, Process, Outputs, Customers) clarifies the scope of a process and identifies inputs that feed measurement points, making it easier to design data collection and pinpoint sources of variation. Flevy's Lean Measurement System Analysis (MSA) presentation includes examples of SIPOC diagrams to support this activity.

What should I look for when buying an MSA toolkit or presentation?

Buyers should look for process mapping templates (SIPOC), data collection plan templates, Measurement System Analysis checklists, capability analysis frameworks, and training materials or example diagrams to support workshops and training—Practical items include process mapping templates.

How much time should I plan for a basic MSA workshop?

A basic workshop structure in the deck comprises 4 sessions: 60 minutes for MSA introduction, 90 minutes for process mapping, 60 minutes for data collection strategy, and 90 minutes for MSA practice and interpretation—totaling about 300 minutes.

What are the first steps to take if I need to improve measurement accuracy?

Start by mapping the process and identifying input variables, develop a documented data collection plan, ensure calibration and operator training, then run a Measurement System Analysis to quantify errors and guide corrective actions—beginning with a data collection plan.

Can slide templates support Lean Six Sigma training courses?

Yes. Presentation decks like Flevy's Lean Measurement System Analysis (MSA) are described as providing a foundation for Lean Six Sigma training, including editable slides, training materials, and example case studies that can be adapted for classroom or independent study, with included training materials.

When should I run attribute measurement studies versus variables studies?

Selection depends on the nature of the characteristic being measured—attribute studies for discrete/pass-fail data and variables studies for continuous measurements. The deck covers both Attribute Measurement Studies and Variables Measurement Studies and includes a Minitab method for analysis.

Document FAQ
These are questions addressed within this presentation.

What is Measurement System Analysis (MSA)?
MSA is a quantitative evaluation of the tools and processes used in making data observations, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of collected data.

Why is process mapping important?
Process mapping provides a visual representation of workflows, helping teams identify inefficiencies, redundancies, and areas for improvement.

How do I develop a data collection plan?
A data collection plan should document what data will be collected, why it is needed, who is responsible, how it will be collected, when it will be collected, and where it will be collected.

What are common sources of variation in measurement?
Common sources of variation include machines, materials, methods, measurement techniques, environmental factors, and human error.

How can I ensure the accuracy of my measurement system?
Regular calibration, training for operators, and adherence to standardized procedures can help maintain measurement accuracy.

What is the difference between common cause and special cause variation?
Common cause variation is inherent to the process and predictable, while special cause variation is due to specific, identifiable factors that are not part of the normal process.

How do I interpret the results of a Measurement System Analysis?
Results should be analyzed to identify areas of improvement, assess measurement reliability, and determine the impact of measurement errors on overall process performance.

What tools can assist in conducting MSA?
Statistical software like Minitab can facilitate data analysis and provide graphical outputs for better interpretation of measurement system performance.
