Background:
I'm modeling a Gage R&R.
I have 2 holding fixtures each with 10 nests to hold a singular component.
Even though my holding fixtures have multiple nests I am considering them as individuals as they are not truly identical.
Issue:
10 nests X each component 3 times in each nest X 2 operators X 3 Trials = Approximately 17 hours (inclusive of fixture loading, measurement, unloading). Add the 2nd holding fixture and I'm up to 34 hours of time to complete the GR&R. Not to mention taking the equipment out of service to prevent set-up tear down which would add another level of variation.
My questions:
Can I scale this model and still have a valid MSA?
Do I need to consider each nest an individual?
