Guidelines for a Practical Approach to Gauge Capability Analysis

Purpose

This seminar presents a series of definitions and procedures for developing a sensible approach to the evaluation of existing gauges as well as providing a basis for the intelligent purchase of new gauging systems. Additionally, the seminar includes a hands-on segment for the evaluation of standard gauges, which brings home the concepts and clarifies the principles of capability analysis for process and product measurement. The major thrust of the content in this seminar is non-destructive measurement processes as associated with variables (continuous) data.
