| It is well-known that many problems in business, industry and government arise from using data that has unknown and variable precision or accuracy. It is not unusual to have the measurement system the focus of a process improvement project. In Six Sigma process improvement methodology, DMAIC, the “M” stands for “Measure”. Every improvement activity must do a thorough analysis of measurement variation (MSA). The MSAS program is unique in that an entire course (STAT 8130) is devoted to assessing and improving the measurement system. Students will learn how to perform measurement system studies which can lead to process improvements. Data is the focus of most decision making, collecting data requires measurement. How accurate/variable is your data? |
