Measurement Systems Analysis MSA - To increase confidence in measurement data, you have to understand the measurement system and use it intelligently.
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.
