Quiz 3- Measurement System Analysis

What is the primary purpose of Gage R&R? *

To calculate project ROI

To evaluate repeatability and reproducibility

To identify Lean waste

To create a Control Plan

What is repeatability? *

Variation when the same operator measures the same item repeatedly with the same system

Variation between different departments

Variation between projects

Variation in customer demand

What is reproducibility? *

Variation associated with different operators using the measurement system

Variation within a single repeated measurement

Variation in project cost

Variation in customer requirements

Why does Gage R&R matter? *

It helps determine whether measurement variation is acceptable for intended analysis

It eliminates all process variation

It replaces statistical analysis

It determines project scope

If the same operator obtains substantially different repeated measurements, what issue is indicated? *

Repeatability

Reproducibility

Financial impact

Process mapping

If different operators obtain substantially different measurements, what issue is indicated? *

Repeatability

Reproducibility

Sampling bias

Project scope

What is the primary focus of Attribute MSA? *

Consistency of categorical judgments

Continuous financial data

Project scheduling

Material flow

Which statistic is specifically used to assess agreement beyond chance? *

Kappa

Cpk

RPN

What does Kappa evaluate? *

Agreement in categorical assessments beyond chance

Process capability

Financial return

Project duration

Inspectors classify products as acceptable or defective. What is the key measurement-system concern? *

Reliable and consistent categorical judgments

Project ROI

Process lead time

Inventory turnover

What distinguishes Gage R&R from Attribute MSA? *

Gage R&R evaluates measurement-system variation for repeatability/reproducibility; Attribute MSA evaluates categorical assessment agreement

Both evaluate exactly the same type of variation

Gage R&R measures financial impact; Attribute MSA measures ROI

Attribute MSA replaces all measurement studies

If operators frequently disagree on acceptable/defective classifications, what should be addressed? *

Project financial benefits

Reliability and agreement of the attribute measurement system

DOE optimization

Process handover
