Measurement System Analysis

Course ID MSAASQ
Format E-Learning

Students who enroll in this course as of 12/19/25 will earn IACET CEUs upon successful completion of the course or program.

To improve a business process, the process must be measurable, and key to that measurement is a reliable and accurate measurement system―the complete process used to obtain measurements including instruments, gauges, standards, procedures, personnel, environment, and assumptions used to quantify a measurement. To help you determine if your process measurement system is reliable and accurate, use Measurement System Analysis (MSA), a study that evaluates a measurement system for an improvement project’s critical-to-quality characteristic, and Gauge Repeatability & Reproducibility (GR&R) studies, used to quantify the precision of a measurement system.


Learn about Measurement System Analysis (MSA), a study that evaluates a measurement system for an improvement project’s critical-to-quality characteristic, and Gauge Repeatability & Reproducibility (GR&R) studies, used to quantify the precision of a measurement system. Gain an understanding of common MSA terms like precision, accuracy, bias, linearity, and stability and the specific steps to take to complete a GR&R study. Review practical, real-life scenarios to see how project teams use MSA and GR&R to support process improvement initiatives.
