SINIC::MSA Measurement System Analysis
What is SINIC::MSA?
SINIC::MSA is a module of the SINIC::CAQ System family. It provides all of the necessary functions for an effective gage capability management. Based on standardized processes of the automotive industry this module provides you with the extensive data about capability of gages and gage systems.
How does SINIC::MSA work?
SINIC::MSA helps you to evaluate the capability of your gages and gage systems regarding realistic influences. In fact, it supports inspection procedures according the guidelines and requirements of General Motors, FORD Motor Company, and the BOSCH-Group (Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3), as well as according to the MSA /QS 9000 Manual (average range method, attribute gage study (short), ANOVA). Measurement results can be provided manually and automatically using an integrated online-data entry system. Extensive reports will present the results of your capability inspections and can be printed out for documentation purposes.
How can you use SINIC::MSA?
SINIC::MSA supports you in the gage evaluation and analysis and determines its accuracy and reliability automatically. With the generated results the system will help you with the decision whether the gages are capable and appropriate for the use in your company.
SINIC::MSA covers the following functions:
- Determination of equipment capability according to General Motors, Ford Motor Company and Bosch Group (Type 1 and Type 2)
- Support for all standard Measurement System Analysis study methods
- Support for test methods to MSA/QS 9000 Manual (average and range method, attribute gauge study)
- On-line measurement logging through connection of instrument interfaces
- Tabulated evaluations with test for Under Statistical Control, measurement error analysis, calculation of capability coefficient, etc.
- Graphic analysis by max/min, USL/LSL, histogram, probability grid, average and range curves
- Display of original value, average and distribution graphics
- Direct comparison of up to three inspectors in one graphic
Optionally the analysis options of SINIC::MSA can be expanded using the well-known statistic tool qs-STAT® by the Q-DAS GmbH. In this connection we use specially designed interfaces to apply to additional calculation methods of qs-STAT® for providing further analyzing results on base of SINIC::MSA data.
