Benefit of MSA:


MSA is the most popular method to obtain data from a measurement system and be certain that those data are valid and relevant. Whether those measurements are valid and useful depends on the gap between them and the real data.

Using MSA, the gap can be analyzed and assessed systematically according to the standard. The automotive industry has been requiring adherence to the standard for many years.

MSA is a requirement for certification under ISO TS 16949 or VDA 6.1 / 6.4 for the entire automotive industry-OEMs and their suppliers.
