Overview/Description
Measurement system analysis tools and techniques are used during the Measure stage of the DMAIC methodology to determine how much measurement system variance is contributing to overall variance. The factors affecting precision and accuracy must be well understood, evaluated, and mitigated. In this course, you'll explore the concepts and basic methods used in measurement system analysis, such as the assessment of bias, linearity, and stability, which are measures of accuracy. You'll also learn how to carry out a gauge repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R) study to assess the precision of a measurement system. This course is aligned to the ASQ Body of Knowledge and is designed to assist Yellow Belt candidates toward achieving their certifications and becoming productive members of their Six Sigma project teams.

Target Audience
Candidates seeking Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification and any other individuals involved in quality and process improvement at the organizational or departmental level
