STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

Title PROCEDURE FOR MEASURMENT SYSTEM ANALYSIS

To implement appropriate measurement related to quality in manufacturing and inspection processes by defining evaluation method for measurement ability.
Purpose
# (Note) Measurement ability here means statistical evaluation as a whole measuring system, including not only measuring instruments, but also measurers, environment, etc. More specifically, this means
repeatability, reproducibility, and stability.

Scope Applies to specific measurement systems that affect quality of ADSNI production activities.

Definition & Abbreviations :

 Measurement system analysis – is the collection of instruments or gauges standards, operations, methods, fixtures, software, personnel, environment and assumptions used to quantify a unit of measure or fix assessment to the feature
characteristic being measured; the complete process used to obtain measurements.
 Measurement – is defined as “the assignment of numbers ( or values ) to material things to represent the relations among them with respect to particulars properties.” The process of assigning the numbers is defined as the measurement process,
and the value assigned is defined as the measurement value.
 Gauge - is any device used to obtain measurement; frequently used to refer specifically to the devices used on the shop floor; includes go/no-go devices ( also see refer list ASTM E456-96)

 Repeatability – the variation in measurements taken by a single person or instrument on the same item and under the same conditions.

 Reproducibility – the variability induced by the operators. It is the variation induced when different operators (or different laboratories) measure the same part.

 SPC XL – software used for calculations of collected data;

 Annexture 1:
Gauge R&R evaluation (when measurement system whose measurement result can be read numerically)

(1) Execution method・・・

1. Prepare 6 to 10 parts.
2. 2 to 3 operators measure the parts repeatedly 2 to 3 times.
3. Judge measurement ability by applying each measurement result (dispersion) to the calculation formula.
4. (See ‘Measurement ability (R&R) evaluation table’ on the next page.)
Stability is to be evaluated by one operator, measuring several times at different intervals.

(2) Evaluation method・・・(Result)

1. Less than 10%: approval (the operator has measurement ability.)
→ operator dispersion is less than 10% against product tolerance.
2. 10% to 30%: in consideration (the necessity of the operator’s improvement is to be considered)
3. 30% or more: rejection (improvement is necessary as the operator does not have enough measurement ability)

(3) Improvement method… When rejected, investigate the cause and make improvements based
on the following table, to reduce the dispersion.

Cause Content of improvement

Measuring instrument ・ Change measurement instrument (digitalization)
・ Maintain supplementary tool (stabilization of maintenance, deformation prevention of measuring object)
Measuring object ・ Treatment before measurement (cleaning, temperature control, deburring)
・ Standardize measuring point (specify measuring position)
Measurement method ・ Standardize measurement condition (integrate measurement ability and speed)
Measurer ・ Train measurer (train measurer on ‘measurement ability’ and ‘how to read graduation’)
Environment ・ Improve the environment (add the light, control the temperature)

Anneture 2 Discrete value evaluation

(measurement system whose measurement result can be read as ‘pass’ or ‘fail’: e.g. limit gauge)

(1) Implementation method Prepare 50 samples and have 3 measurers measure them 3 times each at random. recorded by an expert.
The judgment criterion value is to be the measuring result
(2) Evaluation method Calculate validity, error rate and error caution rate by the 3 measurers’ measuring results
and the standard judgment value, and evaluate their measurement ability. fail)’
and ‘Analysis result of discrete value measurement system’ on the next pages.)
(See ‘Discrete value measurement system evaluation table (gauge to decide whether pass or fail)

Judgment Content of treatment Validity Error rate Error caution rate

Approval The measurer is capable. ≧90% ≦2% ≦5%

Consider improvement taking into account

Consideration ≧80% ≦5% ≦10%
operation ability and cost.

Improvement is required as the measurer’s

Rejection ＜80% ＞5% ＞10%
measurement ability is not high enough.
