Measurement System Analysis (MSA) is a structured method used to evaluate the quality of a Measurement System.
In any process, measurements are critical for controlling quality and making decisions. MSA helps determine the extent to which the measurement system is Reliable, Precise, and Accurate, reducing the risk of making incorrect conclusions based on faulty data.
MSA helps ensure that measurement data are trustworthy and accurate enough to make informed decisions. It involves evaluating key aspects such as Bias, Repeatability, Reproducibility, Linearity, and Stability of the measurement instruments and operators.
MSA is a pre-requisite for conducting Process Capability study.
