Variable Gage R&R question:
I have 3 good operators where each operator has been at the company five or more years and have been making the same part and use calipers to measure a particular feature on the widget.
Each operator has been trained on how to measure the feature.
Question 1
Responses from IATF 16949 auditors will be helpful.

Question 1
One of the operators cannot pass repeatability and reproducibility (trained several times) - is it allowable to remove that operator from the Gage R&R and replace with another operator? Is there any set of circumstances that allow this? This seems to violate the very nature of Gage R&R's.
Does the swapping of operators violate anything in the AIAG, ITAF, or ISO 9001?
Question 2Same situation but all 3 operators fail the Gage R&R - is it allowable to swap all three good operators for anther three operators?
Any particular standards that this violates?Responses from IATF 16949 auditors will be helpful.
