Measurement Systems Analysis (VDA 5)

Measurement Systems Analysis (VDA 5)

Course Duration: 2 Days - 8 Hours/day

Omnex is not a VDA or VDA-QMC licensed training provider.

This two-day course provides:

  • Practical basic knowledge of the Measurement System Analysis: goals, approach, evaluation, assessment.
  • Sound and applicable knowledge of statistical analysis of measurement systems using Solara (Q-DAS).
  • Overview of the most important similarities and differences in the procedures according to VDA 5 and MSA 4 (AIAG).

The course is a dynamic, practice-oriented training with minimal lecture, in which about half of the teaching time is used for discussions and practical exercises.

Learning Objectives

  • What is a Measurement System Analysis?
  • What is the purpose of the analysis, how does it work?
  • MSA procedure.
  • Meaning of the individual elements such as resolution, linearity and measurement stability.
  • The methods for determining the capability of measurement processes.
  • Statistical evaluation of the processes with the Solara software.
  • Evaluation of the results.
  • Dealing with incapable measuring systems.
  • Assessment of attributive measuring systems.
  • How does VDA approach relate to the measurement system analysis according to MSA 4?
