I have worked this problem out completely for my quality management course. I am not totally comfortable with my answer. Can someone please help me?
You have obtained the following data from a gauge R & R study The gauge is properly calibrated and the operators are trained. You carefully observed the process and did not observe any assignable causes for error.
(I calculated the averages
a. calculate EV
b. calculate OV
c. calculate RR
d. given that the tolerance for the measurement is 1.010 +/- 0.015, calculate the RR as a percentage of tolerance
e. Is the measurement system acceptable? Explain
Step 1 calculate x bar for each operator: (see above) Operator 1 = 1.0088
Operator 2 = 1.00885
Step 2
Calculate xD = 1.00885 – 1.0088 = .00005
Step 3 (see spreadsheet above)
Step 4 Operator 1 R1 Bar = .0018 Operator 2 R2 Bar = .0009
Step 5 Overall Rbarbar = (.0018 + .0009)/2 = .00135
Step 6 R = 2, D1 = 3.267 (from Table 10.1)
Control Limit = 3.267 x .00135 = .00441
None of the individual ranges exceed the control limit.
