Observations & Inferences
Differences between parts accounts for most of the variability; and variability from repeatability
and reproducibility is be very small
Since the %StudyVar is 17.36 % (less than 30 %) the measurement system may be acceptable
The number of distinct categories are 7. This indicates that the system is acceptable and can
distinguish between parts
From the x-bar chart we observe that many points are above or below the control limits. These
results indicate that part-to-part variation is much greater than measurement device variation.
The operators appear to be measuring the parts consistently, with approximately the same
variation as the line in the operator’s graph is parallel to x-axis
Conclusion
Based on the above observations we can conclude the measuring system contributes very little to the
overall variation, as confirmed by both the gage R&R table and graphs and hence is acceptable for use.
