Question: Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility ( GR&R ) studies is a measure of the capability of a gauge or instrument to obtain the same measurement reading

Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R) studies is a measure of the capability of a gauge or instrument to obtain the same measurement reading every time the measurement process is undertaken for the same characteristic or parameter. The following Table 1 shows the measurement result of part diameter (Tolerance =+0.003mm 0.002mm) by two appraisers (observers) through the use of an outside micrometer. Answer the following questions in order to perform a GR&R study. Refer Appendix 1 for major equations and constant factors.

(a) Calculate:
i. The mean (Xbar.n1A ~ Xbar.n5A ; Xbar.n1B ~ Xbar.n5B), range (RnA1 ~ RnA5 ; Rn1B ~ Rn5B) and summation (\Sigma Xbar.A ; \Sigma Xbar.B ; \Sigma RA ; \Sigma RB) for each appraiser.
ii. The mean of each appraisers means (Xdoublebar.A and Xdoublebar.B)
iii. The different (Xdoublebar.diff.) between the maximum appraiser mean value and the minimum appraiser mean value.
iv. The mean of range for each appraiser (Rbar.A and Rbar.B) and the grand range (Rbar).
v. The control limit (LCL and UCL) for R-chart.
vi. The Equipment Variation (EV), Appraiser Variation (AV) and GR&R.
vii. The Equipment Variation %(EV%), Appraiser Variation %(AV%) and GR&R%.
(b) Briefly explain the conclusion on the Measurement System Analysis (MSA) based on the result you have calculated.
