From what I can ascertain there is an order in which to evaluate a measurement system (starting with a stability test and culminating in a Gauge R&R). If this is so does anyone know if there is a flowchart / roadmap to support it.
I don't have a flowchart but this is the way I usually try to look at it.
First calibrate, establish Bias and Linearity
Conduct Gage R&R (repeatability and reproducibility)
Work on Stability over time after initial studies.
As I was unable to locate an MSA Roadmap we decided to try and create one of our own.
I know this might seem a little cheeky but I've attached the Roadmap in the hope that one of our experts would be able to review it and make some recommendations as to its content and layout.

many software packages like Gage Trak will do several gage studies (like Bias, Linearity, and Stability) automatically when doing a gage R&R.) It's a real time saver. Otherwise, you should look to do Bias first, because the other studies are based on variations of bias.
I agree with Helmut, there are many good software packages that will take care of your gauges for you and give you all the information you need to maintain them.
