MSA manual 3rd page 73 states, “For Process Control situations where the measurement result and decision criteria determine, ‘process stability, direction and compliance with the natural process variation’, the availability of samples over the entire operating range becomes very important. An independent estimate of process variation (process capability study) is recommended when assessing the adequacy of the measurement system for process control. ”
Does this mean I should use different samples to compute GRR (repeatability & Reproducibility) and process variation, and use them to compute %GRR?
Page 74, “When an independent estimate of process variation is not available, OR to determine process direction and continued suitability of the measurement system for process control, the sample parts must be selected from the process and represent the entire production operating range.”
My colleagues and I have some disagreement on how to select samples to perform GRR. And we have the following three methods:
Assumption: We have a cup manufacturing process. The cup height’s spec is 10(+/-1) mm. Take 50 consecutive samples, and the standard deviation of the samples is 0.4.
Method1: Select 10 samples, the 10 samples need to be between 9 mm to 11 mm. We are advised to have a sample as close to 9 mm as possible, and a sample as close to 11 mm as possible. Use these 10 samples to perform GRR.
Method2: Selected 10 samples, the 10 samples need to be between 9.6 mm and 10.4 mm. We are advised to have a sample as close to 9.6 mm as possible, and a sample as close to 10.4mm as possible. Use these 10 samples to perform GRR.
Method3: Randomly select 10 samples from the production line, and use these 10 samples to perform GRR (my prefer).
Which sampling method do you think is correct? Or you have another method?
