How to Run an MSA in Minitab

To run an MSA in Minitab, first ensure the software is installed, then access the Quality tools under the Stat menu to set parameters for parts, operators, and replicates. After configuring the options, activate the worksheet and implement the Gage R & R to analyze the measurement system. The process involves entering data for parts, operators, and measurements, which generates a new data sheet for analysis.

How to Run an MSA in Minitab?

We need to first download and install Minitab in our system to run the MSA. Then,
we require the Minitab statistical software application to run Minitab MSA.
In the below example, we have already downloaded and installed the Minitab
statistical software application in our system.
Below are steps showing how to run Minitab MSA:
1. Check the Minitab statistical software application is installed in our system.
In the below example, we are checking the installation by opening the software.

2. After opening the Minitab click on stat tabs to open the below window.
Stat -> Quality tools

After opening the above window, select the number of parts as 10, the number of
operators as 3, number of replicates as 3. Enter the part from 1 to 10. Then click on
the options tab and click on the do not randomize radio button; after clicking on the
radio button, click on the tab. After clicking on the ok tab, the new data sheet will be
generated.
Then we need to active the Minitab worksheet. After activating the worksheet, we
need to implement gage R & R.
After clicking on the tab, it will open the below window. In the part numbers tab, we
need to give values as parts. In the operator’s tab, we need to provide the same
values as the operator, and in the measurement data tab, we need to give the
measurement field.

After clicking the ok button, it will create below Minitab measurement system
analysis.
Example of Minitab MSA
Given below are the example of Minitab MSA:
The below example shows Minitab as follows. After opening Minitab, we need to
click on the below tabs.
Stat -> Quality tools

After opening the above window, we have selected the number of parts as 5, the
number of operators as 3, and several replicates as 3. Next, we need to select the
do not randomize radio button to implement the example of Minitab MSA. After
selecting the radio button, we need to click on the ok button to take the effect of
changes in the current example. The example below shows us that the data-sheet is
created automatically after providing all the details below.
In the above example, we can see that we have created total parts as five, total
operators as 3, and total replica set as 3, so our entire run is 45.
After generating the worksheet, we will implement the example of Minitab MSA as
follows.
We have added parts in the part number section, measurement in the measurement
data section, and operators in the operator’s section. After clicking on the ok button,
it will create the Minitab MSA.
Conclusion
When we measure something repeatedly or use a different process, the result will
vary in measurement. Variation will come by using two primary sources. First, it is a
method to determine the acceptable measurement system. The abbreviation of
MSA in Minitab is measurement system analysis.
