Hey guys, first time posting.
I've recently started my first job in quality and the cove has been a great resource for me while I get up to speed.
I am in charge of performing the first MSA our company has ever done and I feel like I've gotten a good handle on it, but I've run into a snag.
My main question is: When performing a MSA on a new gauge, does it have to be tested on the parts that it will be measuring during production? Or can it be tested on a similar part?
The trouble is that the part these gauges will be measuring is still in the development stage and it is hard/impossible to get access to multiple at a time. It would be much easier to test the gauges against a similar part instead, if that is an option.
I'm guessing the answer is "they must be tested on the parts they will be measuring" since isn't the point to compare the variation in the parts to the variation produced by the measurement device?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
