Hello all

As you know, IATF 16949 has extended MSA to "inspection equipment system" in addition to measuring and test equipment system through clause 7.1.5.1.1

May someone explain me what are "inspection equipment systems" and what are their differences with measuring or test equipment systems?

Thanks all.

Advanced/automated measuring/verification devices that check multiple characteristics simultaneously. They are usual integrated with an automated manufacturing system.

Hi, I can think of Automated Optical Inspection, Visual Inspection by human.

Can "visual inspection" be included in the scope of MSA?

If so, why IATF has used the term "equipment" in the requirement? Is it suitable for human?

(Statistical studies shall be conducted to analyse the variation present in the results of each type of inspection, measurement, and test equipment system identified in the control plan.)

Yes, it is considered an inspection system. Some OEM's require attribute studies on visual inspection systems.

You should read "inspection, measurement, and test equipment system" as
inspection system, measurement system, and test equipment system.
