Summary

A Gage R&R study uses analysis of variance to check the variation in a measurement system. The document explains how to do this using the ANOVA method, and what to do with the results.

Sources of Variation

A Gage R&R study is all about variation. Variation in measurements comes from many sources. The process standard deviation and the measurement system standard deviation both affect the total standard deviation.

The ANOVA Table

The ANOVA table is the starting point for analyzing a Gage R&R study. You can use computer software to do the calculations. The table shows the sums of squares and degrees of freedom for different sources of variation.

Repeatability and Reproducibility

Repeatability checks the same sample under the same conditions. Reproducibility checks consistent measurements while varying the measurement conditions. The document explains how the ANOVA method determines these.

Example Data

The document uses example data to show how to do a Gage R&R study. This data was used in a previous newsletter on the average and range method. It shows how to calculate the sources of variation from the data.

Key terms

Gage R&R study
A study of variation in a measurement system.
Analysis of variance

Repeatability
The ability of a measurement system to repeat the same measurements.
Reproducibility
The ability of a measurement system to return consistent measurements under varied conditions.
Sum of squares
A value in the ANOVA table that shows the variation for different sources.
Degrees of freedom
A value in the ANOVA table that shows how many values can vary.
