Measurement System Assessment II (MSA II)

Non-typical measurement systems require more advanced measurement system techniques. This seminar provides participants to the knowledge necessary to perform measurement system assessments for destructive testing, nested systems and other advanced or non-standard situations. It also provides enhanced understanding and utility of core measurement assessment tools taught in MSA I.

Who should attend:
Practitioners involved in the evaluation of measurement systems and any individual making decisions based on data.

Prerequisite:
A knowledge of basic algebra, statistical process control concepts (SPC I) and basic measurement system concepts (MSA I) is strongly recommended.

CEU Credits: 1.6

Duration: 16 Hours (2-day course)
