2. Who is Arved J. Harding, Jr.?
3. What are we going to cover? What is the purpose of a Variable Gage R&R?
Repeatability vs. Reproducibility
Generating a Variable Gage R&R study in Minitab
How to define part or process tolerance
Part selection for the study
Analysis of Gage R&R in Minitab
Interpreting the variable GRR graphical and statistical tools 3
4. What Can We Get Out of a Variable Gage R&R? Measure of the % of variation in our process that is caused by our measurement system
Compare measurements within and between operators
Compare measurements within and between two (or more) measurement devices
Provide criteria to accept new measurement systems (consider new equipment)
Evaluate a suspect gage
Evaluate a gage before and after corrective action (training, repair, replacement, etc)
Determine true process variation
Ensure that the measurement system is measuring what we want before process improvement
Avoid shipping defects to our customers
Avoid scrapping perfectly good parts

5. Variable Gage R&R in a Nut-shell We want to characterize variation from the process
We usually estimate this with part-to-part variation
Can use an estimate from historical data
We want to estimate the test variation
Repeatability and reproducibility
We want to know if the test variation is good enough for the application
Ratio of Process Variation to Test Variation (% Study Variation)
Ratio of Spec Range to Test Variation (P/T Ratio or %Tolerance)

6. Typical Recommended Gage R&R Study Select a product this study will represent
Collect 10 parts that represent the expected variation you would see in your process. This could include out of spec parts if this is expected.
Mistakes include:
Collecting parts that are too close together and do not represent the total variation thus making the test variation look worse than it is.
Collecting parts across different products thus making the test variation look much better than it is.

7. Typical Recommended Gage R&R Study Select 3 analysts and have them measure the 10 parts 2 times at random.
60 total measurements
Are these numbers magical?
Can I use more analysts, parts or repeats?

8. R&RAccording to Wikipedia R&R (magazine), a music trade magazine
R&R (Military), acronym for Rest and Recuperation or Rest and Recreation
R&R (EastEnders), a fictional nightclub in EastEnders
Rock & Republic, an American designer jeans company
Repeatability and reproducibility
Rescue and resuscitation
"Read and review", a term used in fanfiction by authors looking for feedback
"Recent and relevant", a requirement for those training teachers in the UK that they had experience teaching in a school that was both recent and relevant.;

10. R&R Repeatability variation due to the measuring device, or the variation observed when the same operator measures the same part repeatedly with the same device.
Reproducibility variation due to the measuring system, or the variation observed when different operators measure the same part using the same device. 10
11. Gage R&R Crossed Helps assess how well the measuring system can distinguish between parts
Whether the operators can measure consistently within and between themselves
Assesses test variation
Crossed every part is measured by every person
Balanced the measurement is done the same number of times by each person on each part. 11
12. Nozzle Example 12
13. Nozzle Example Specification limits 9012+- 4
Tolerance or Specification Range= ?
By entering a value for Process tolerance in Minitab you get an estimate of the proportion of the tolerance taken up by the test variation. 13

20. Measures % Contribution Each value in the VarComp column is divided by the Total variation then multiplied by 100. This column adds to 100%.
Study Var (6*SD) represents the total width of the distribution of the data based on variation from that Source
% Study Var (%SV) Study var for each source divided by Total Study var * 100. Does not add to 100%.
%Tolerance (SV/Tolerance) Percent of spec range taken up by the total width of the distribution of the data based on variation from that Source
%Process is displayed when a historical std dev is entered in Options. 20
21. Which Measure to Use? If the measurement system is used for process improvement such as reducing part-to-part variation, then %Study variation may be a better measure.
If the measurement system is used to evaluate parts relative to specifications, then %Tolerance variation may be a better measure.

22. AIAG Guidelines %Tolerance and % Study Variation
10% or less Acceptable
10% to 30% - Marginal
30% or greater Unacceptable
%Contribution
1% or less Acceptable
1% to 9% - Marginal
9% or greater - Unacceptable

23. Number of Distinct Categories The number of distinct categories that can be reliably observed
spart / smeasuring system * sqrt(2)
Minitab truncates this value except when it is less than 1, in that case Minitab sets the number of distinct categories to 1. 23

32. Nested Studies Use this for Destructive tests with small batch sizes.
Example Slabs of Stainless Steel
9 slabs are randomly chosen from production. Were assuming of course the 9 slabs represent the normal variation seen. This may not be true with only 9 selected at random.
Randomly assign 3 slabs to each of 3 operators
Each impact test is destructive but we can get 3 samples from each slab. We expect very little within slab variation, so testing 3 samples within a slab should be a good estimate of test variation. 32

36. Warning Do not apply a variable gage R&R if your measurements use an attribute scale such as pass/fail, or a 1-5 rating. Consider an Attribute Agreement Study for this.
