25 Gage R&R Chocolate Exercise 4 groups Min 3 operators and 1 scriber per group One measurement system per group 10 chocolate tabs per group Measure (non-destructively) tab s height Specs are: 76,5-77,5 mm How important this spec to the customer? 25

26 Hur tolkar jag graferna? Xbar Chart by Instrument The control limits indicate measurement system variation. We want the measured points to fall outside of these limits, ie we want the sample to sample variation to exceed the measurement system variation. Instrument*Sample Interaction This graph shows the average sample measurements for each sample from each of the instrumens/operators. If for instance there is a bias between instruments depending on which part is measured this graph will help in quantifying that. R Chart by Instrument Visualizes the range (max-min) for each of the groups of replicates made by each Instrument (operator). Indicator of measurement system stability. Components of Variation Shows what percentage of the total is due to gage variation and part-to part variation. Gage variation is split into repeatability and reproducibility. Both gage and part to part variation is listed in % of total, % of study (stdev ratios) and % of tolerance. Ideally, part-to-part captures most of the variation. By Instrument This graph aims to visualize whether one Instrument or operator consistently measures higher or lower than the other(s). If so, the red line through the group averages will not be straight. Also, in the Instrument*Sample plot above there will be an offset between the lines. By Sample Shows the variability in measurements for each sample across all instruments/operators. Ideally there should be little variation within each sample compared to the variation between samples this will enable the gage to see more distinct categories when sampling the process. 26

27 Hur tolkar jag siffrorna? Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) Two ANOVA tests are performed, one testing for significance in Sample/Part, Instrument/Operator together with the interation Sample*Instrument. The 2nd ANOVA table only tests the significance of the main effects, ie Sample/Part and Instrument/Operator. P values and their meaning The p values are the statistical likelihood that a factor has had No Effect. We normally want at least 95% probability for an effect to consider it significant, i.e. If p<0.05 we consider an effect significant at a confidence level of 95%. Övriga tumregler gäller egentligen bara när Part-to-Part likställs med hela Processen, dvs när man har massor av mätpunkter (som beskriver processen). Total variation = Gage R&R + Part-to-Part These tables decompose the total observed variation in the Gage R&R investigation into: Total Gage R&R overall gage variation Repeatability overall repeatability variation across all samples within each instrument/operator Reproducibility variation in results across all instruments /operators within each sample. Reproducibility is further split into instrument/operator and instrument*sample interaction. (Recall the p-values from the previous slide for the statistical significance of these variation sources.) Part-to-Part variation is the variation due to the actual samples, taking away the Gage variation. Ideally most of the variation will be found here. Rules of thumb Max 8% of total variance due to gage Max 30% of study variation due to gage 5.15*Gage stdev max 30% of tolerance Gage should be able to split part-to-part variation into at least 4 distinct categories 27
