measurement systems analysis

Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) is a process used to evaluate the accuracy and consistency of the tools and methods used to measure products or processes. It helps ensure that measurements are reliable and free from errors, which is critical for quality control. MSA examines factors like how well a measurement device can detect real differences (precision) and how close measurements are to the true value (accuracy). By analyzing these aspects, organizations can identify and improve measurement methods, leading to better decision-making and product quality.
