    I am trying to understand how to perform attribute measurement system study. I started at page 125 of the 3rd edition of the Measurement Systems Analysis manual and got lost as to how to perform these studies. Does anyone have any insight on what to read to better understand this stuff?

    It is not real well documented.
    Go back to the folks who taught you Six Sigma — they should have good information.

    Matt,
    Here are some basic guidelines for conducting an attribute study:
    1) Select 20 parts or samples for inspection.  These samples should include some clearly good, some clearly bad, and some borderline.  Overall, I would try to end up with 10 good and 10 bad. 
    2) Have 2 – 3 appraisers inspect the samples in random order.  They should each do this twice.  This will allow you to assess how often they agree with each other (reproducibility) and how consistent they are in their own assessments (repeatability).
    3) Compare these results to the standard.  This part can be tricky.  When you put the study together, you should have a team or expert do this evaluation.  I say it is tricky because many times, the standards are just being developed or haven’t been developed at all. 
    4) Plug the data into Excel or Minitab for the analysis.  You are looking for an overall assessment agreement of 90% or more to accept your measurement system.  This means that 90% of the time your appraisers need to agree with themselves, each other and the standard.  Deficiencies should be addressed with training and development of standards (basic rules, visuals, etc).
    I hope this helps.

    I have AIAG’s the MSA’s book, but I am attempting to figure out the Cross-Tab stuff. It is not very clear how this is done. I will re-re-re-read the 10 pages. Perhaps the light will turn on.

    Hi
    Adding further to Joy’s reply, try analysing this way:
    Overall compliance: This is the ratio of number of cases where all findings are matching / total number of cases. say out of 20 defects there were only 18 defects where all the readings of inspectors matched with the experts, then overall compliance = 18/20 = 0.9 or 90%. Overall compliance muste be at least 80%, >90% is desirable.
    Individual operator repeatablity: This is the ratio of cases where both the readings for the inspector match / total number of cases. Say for example Inspector A repeated his results in 15 cases out of 20, then his repeatablity is 75%. guidelines are same for this criteria.
    Individual operator reproduciblity: This is the ratio of cases where both the readings for the inspector match with the expert’s / total number of cases.
    This method is very simple to analyse and explain to team.
    Hope this helped

    Think of attribute measurement studies as a way to describe the randomness or error in the attribute inspection.  An old QC saying is “100% inspection is 85% effective.”
    One must also consider how many defects or nonconformances exist generally, in the process of interest.  If the number of defects is very small, relative to the production of goods or services, then the attribute measurement system study should be expanded to ensure that the truth can be measured.  If, for instance, the defect rate is 5,000 dpmo, and the attribute measurement system shows error of 4,000 dpmo, there is a barrier to improvement.  Conversely, if the defect rate is 30,000 dpmo, the same measurement system would likely show improvement.
    Don’t forget if you have products or services with multiple opportunities for nonconformances that the measurement system study must encompass these opportunities.  10 objects with 10 possible mistakes gives the measurer 100 opportunities.

    My (new) question has to do with the confidence interval bounds for attribute MSA studies.
    On page 131 of the AIAG, MSA 3rd edition, it shows non-symmetrical confidence interval bounds. Can someone help explain where or how are these derived? If you know the answer, does this also explain why they are not symmetrical?

    Hello,
    I am going to set up a gage R&R and have mostly found information as to pass/fail criteria only.  I am measuring length and width and don’t necessarily have a pass/fail criteria.  Can I use the raw data instead of using a pass/fail criteria?
    Thanks,

    Hi..I am new to MSA, and am doing some own studies.
    I noticed that most tests are made on 10-3-3 version (10 parts, 3 appraisers, 3 trials). I was wondering whether there are other combinations (eg 5-2-2, 20-4-6..). Plus, can the 10-3-3 formulas/calculations applied to those other versions? How about the constant values of K1, K2 and K3 ?
    I heard that the MSA book by AIAG has the complete values of the constants, but I do not have access to purchasing the book. Is there anyway I can get the list of the constants..?
    Please help…

    I’m struggleing with an Attribute Gage R&R set up for a vision system. I’m confused about appraisers – since parts are fixtured and the Vision system is the judge based on programed limits.

    Brian,
    As with any experiment, you must first decide what factors to examine.  Choosing factors is most often done by informed intuition, not hard data, because if you had the data you would not need the experiment.
    Having pontificated, I’ll say that your issue is to determine the effect of humans on your process.  You could decide that there is no effect and skip the appraiser study;  however, it has been my experience that everyone uses fixturing differently unless of course it is designed and built to be fail-safe.
    The win-win scenario is you do the appraiser test and find no effect.  I would consider trying to “force” the appraisers into fixturing the part differently to eliminate the chance that they randomly do it the same.  Remember that your true objective is to identify potential variability in the measurement process, not to derive a number.  Tests are done to confirm or refute our assumptions.

    Joy, where did you obtain the 90% value for acceptance purposes ??
    I am a technical trainer and this is the question I’m asked the most often ??
    A detailed explanation of any sort would be most appreciated.

    OK,
     
    Let me see if I understand the experts correctly.
     
    I have a process that produces 1,000 parts per day.  The average cost of scrap or repair internally is $2,000 per part.  The average cost of repair or replacement externally is $10,000.  The process has a current capability of 4 sigma (66800 PPM defective) and therefore produces 67 defective parts per day on average.  My gage R&R on the inspection was acceptable at .90.  For simplicity, lets say that the alpha and beta risk of the inspection were equal components of this at 0.05 each.
     
    Then
     
    Number of false positives per day = (1,000-67)*.05 = 47
     
    Number of false negatives = 67*.05 = 3.35
     
    Then my cost of unnecessary repair or scrape = $2,000*47 = $94,000 per day
    And cost due to field repair or replacement = ($10,000 – $2,000)*3.35 = $26,800 per day
     
    Total annual cost of the “qualified” inspections system = $120,800 * 365 = $44,092,000
     
    Well I guess I have a different definition of an “acceptable” inspection system!

    Statman, I think you are overreacting.
    First, it is pretty possible that with such a huge cost of repair, parts that are found non conforming go to further investigation (such as 2 more checks) before reapair. What would be the chance that a good part is found to be defective in 2 out of 3 checks with this betta risk?
    Second, specifications do have a margin of safety. A part that is just a little bit out of spec is not much different from a part that is just a little bit in spec (ask Taguchi). In othr words, if the specification is 10±0.2, a part at 10.19 is not that different from a part at 10.21, so if a part at 10.21 goes out you will probably not have a complaint because of it, at least not with a significant higher frequency than the return of parts at 10.19. And the chance to detect parts out of spec increases as they are farther out of spec. So the chances to miss a very bad part is typically pretty low when you have such a measurement system.
    Do you really think that your PC, where you are writing this post from, did comply with ALL product and process specifications at all process stages if you went all the way back to the raw silicon, polimers and gold? And it is still working, isn’t it?

    Hi Gabriel,
     
    My post wouldn’t have had the impact if I had set the parameters so that the annual cost of the alpha and beta risk was $50 dollars a year J.
     
    What you have done is emphasized my point. Which is that you should not accept some general “rule of thumb” about an inspection system without a cost/benefit analysis of the consequences. 
     
    Since it would be unacceptable to have such a high cost of unnecessary internal repair due to the inspections system alpha risk, we would have to compensate by adding additional gates.  But OK, let’s go with that.  The parts are inspected two more times before repair, each at the same alpha and beta level of the first (.05).
    Therefore,
     
    Test 2 will see 47 false positives and 64.65 actual defectives per day and have these results:
     
    47*.05 = 2.35 false positives going on to inspection number 3
    64.65*.05 = 3.23 false negative shipped to the customer
     
    Test 3 will see 2.35 false positives and 61.32 actual defectives per day with these results:
     
    2.35*.05 = .1175 false positives per day on to repair and
    61.32*.05 = 3.066 false negatives shipped to the customer
     
    Then there will be (3.35 + 3.23 + 3.066) = 9.646 false positives per day shipped to the customer and
    0.1175 false negatives repaired
     
    Then my cost of unnecessary repair or scrape = $2,000*0.1175 = $235 per day
    And cost due to field repair or replacement = ($10,000 – $2,000)*9.646 = $77,168per day
     
    Total annual cost of the “qualified” inspections system with 2 additional inspections = $77,403 * 365 = $28,252,095
     
    So yes, we can reduce the cost of false positives with more internal inspection.  However, we increase the number of defectives shipped to the customer as well as the cost of additional inspection, complexity, WIP, and process cycle time, and lower customer satisfaction.
     
    To your second point, if there was a variables measurement with in which safety limits could be set up, you would go with that measurement as opposed to the pass/fail attribute gage.
     
    Don’t get me started on the number of defects associated with my PC K.
     
    Cheers,

    Bill,
    Always remember that if possible use a continuous data rather that attribute data because continuous data is rich of information.
    Width and Length are continuous measurement, just use either of the two in your GRR. You may test 2 operators, 10 or more samples, 2 trials each operator. Make sure your samples are numbered but must be measured randomly ( 2,4,3,6,10,…7 ). Randomize the samples to eliminate bias ( operator might memorize the length/width per sample ). If possible after the first operator measured all the samples, let the second operator do the measuring, then back to the first operator.
    You can use minitab to get the result or if you don’t have minitab, you can post your collected data and your e-mail address. I will do it for you.

    66800 PPM is 1.5 sigma….not 3 sigma.  Unless you have some basis for a 1.5 sigma shift between long and short term.

    These type of studies are more and more frequent as six sigma moves off the shop floor and into office processes. If you have minitab follow the examples given. If you do not look up Kaplan and follow that model.

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain how can I perform a study to verify the capability of a machine operators to inspect product in process.  I want to know if they’re capable of detecting the defective parts with the current process, while loading (some operators) and packaging (some others)the parts in the machine at a given rate.  I was thinking about performing a % agreement Kappa Attribute Study but I’m not sure how can I apply that to a crew of operators while running the machine.  Could anyone recommend other methods????  I’m really new to this and I have not had any kind of Six Sigma training.
    Thanks, any help will be appreciated!!

And, I have tried to key in the data (pg. 127) by using QI Macro, found that the results shown are difference with the MSA Reference Manual. The LSL and USL that I used is 0.45 and 0.55 with 25% R&R. May anyone know why was this happen?

    I’m afraid to tell you that the cited manual is plaint of errors, in particular the section you’re talking about. Please, go to http://main.isixsigma.com/forum/showmessage.asp?messageID=69042 
    to see the explicitly recognized errors, as soon as possible, because AIAG has the habit of change its links. Otherwise, you can access the AIAG’s webpage and make a search for something as “Errata for MSA”
    In case of doubt, let me know about, I have all the amended sheets.

    If the measurement is not ranked then use a Kappa study.
    If it is ranked use Intra Class Correlation.
    I have used both in the past when training and also in practice.
    The main problems with them is finding the right tool to make the statistics easy. My own organisation has good excel spreadsheets for both, and I am sure that some will exist on the web.

    Hi Daniel,
    Much thanks for your valuable knowledge sharing. It’s really under my expectation about the erratum making.
    But, I’m still confusing with the “Ref Value” that mentioned on page 127 (Attribute Study Database). From my understanding, the “Ref. value” might not be same for difference experiment. And, have to determined by ourselve. Am I right?
    My questions:
    1. How could we determine the value since it’s an attribute data?
    2. Should we classified the defects in categories, for instance, accepted, marginal accepted, rejected?
    Do you have any ideas about the reference value? I’m lost…
    Secondly, I’m still getting a diffence answer for the example on page 127. I will send you a copy true your email, [email protected] . May you please help me to have a check? Thank you.
    Best Regards,
    Alice

    Hello Alice!I answered you some days ago the e-mail that you sent to me, I transcribe such answer below, with some aditional comments.
    _____________________________________
    Hi Alice!
    By now, I can’t have access to the AIAG’s manual (That means 5 or 6 weaks). I looked your file and, at a first glance, I noted that formulas in cells AM9 and AR9 are apparently wrong. Also, I loaded your data in Minitab and the results are consistent with those from the AIAG’s manual, page 128.
    However, I don’t remember what’s said on page 127. Could you scan this page (and the previous ones, if you considered it pertinent) and send me it by e-mail?
    I promise you that I will take me the time necessary to analyze your problem and to write to you an adequate answer.
    Best regards,Daniel
    __________________________________________________With respect to the value of reference, typically it is related to the value established by an immediately superior instance. That is, for evaluations at floor level, it would be the metrology’s laboratory value of the company; for this one, some regional laboratory, and so on. It will be taken as the “true value” for the quality’s characteristic that it’s being evaluated.
    With respect to the second question, perhaps I am a little old minded, but if we are going to take a statistical model from Poisson or Binomial, then there are only place for two, or numerable results: Or it happens to pass or it does not pass, or well it has 1, 2, or any number “n” of defects.

    Good day, Daniel!
    I’ve sent you the copies last week.
    I do try to loaded the data in Minitab, there are 2 type of attribute:
    1. Attribute Agreement Analysis – results are consistent with AIAG’s manual.
    2. Attribute Gage Study (Analytical Method) – FAILED to generate the results caused too few number of trials per part.
    According to stat guide, Minitab accepts either summarized or raw data for attribute gage studies, with conditions, the number of trials for each part must be greater than or equal to 15. If using the AIAG method (default) to test the bias of the gage, then must have exactly 20 trials per part.
    From my data, if ignored the appraiser, I’ve only 9 trials per part.
    May you please consult me in above issue, Daniel?
    Looking for your reply, and thanks in advance…
    Best Regards,
    Alice

    Hello Alice!
    Indeed, the form in which Minitab works accepts only your data for “Attribute Agreement Analysis”. If I am understanding, and you wish to evaluate the bias with your present data, I believe that you can use the previous method of the same AIAG.
    Best regards,

    I have conducted an attribute R&R study for an inspection proccess (pass/fail). We currently do 100% inspection. Normally for the analysis you assume an alpha and beta risk. Is there a way of actually calculating it? Also, is there a way to assess a trade off between decreased inspection frequency and supplying customer with rejected parts? Thank you

    I am not a six sigma certified so need some basic help with doing Gage R&R or Attribute gage analysis on a gage that does not really do direct measurement. The gage is used to inspect voltages, currents and Temp on another equipment when the gage’s voltage, current, and Temp is being manipulated ( increase voltage or temp etc.).  So how can I do Gage R&R or Attribute Gage study on this is the gage does not really measure anything? I need to show that the gage can show repeatability and reproducibility for this gage.

    The MSA v 3 manual on Attribute Gage R&R is about the worst I’ve seen.  They leave out a lot of links in the calculations — such as conversion of the “count data” to the probabilities, estimation of the Prob of chance, etc.  And they left out how they arrived at the Miss Rate and False Alarm Rates. 
    A better article is “When Quality is a Matter of Taste, Use of Reliability Indexes.” by David Futrell (Quality Progress, May, 1995) p81.  This is a good overview of the method and provides examples.  Also, crosstabulation methods are available in just about every stat textbook which includes nonparametric methods.  But these usually don’t cover the “Kappa” calculation. 
     
    I don’t have any insight or reference covering the “Miss Rate” and “False Alarm Rates”.

    I recently 100% inspected some parts for attribute failures. The supplier had shipped approximately 1 or 2 defective parts per 100 parts for three previous shipments. The defect was a threaded hole was not in the key way as shown on the print. When I inspected these parts it appeared that all the the threaded holes were centered in the key way. I was later shown that their were burr’s on at least 60% of threaded holes which was called out on the notes as no burr’s. I was called negligent by my employer in regards to my inspection. My question is can someone be predetermined or their behavior changed to inspect for something they have seen before and miss an obvious defect? Does anyone have any data, especially quantitative data to support this theory?
