Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA)

MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS ANALYSIS (MSA) DVD-SUPPORTED TRAINING Statistical Process Control and other improvement techniques are only as good as the data on which they’re based. That’s why it’s essential to make sure that your measurement system — your gages, personnel, and methods — is stable and capable. This program covers several studies in an easy-to-understand format, to help you generate data you can rely on. Per-Use training* - This course is available on a "Per-Use" basis. The cost for this option is $195 per person. If you would like a comprehensive Application Guide created specifically to follow along with this course, it is available for $39 (includes shipping). Also available is an Instructor’s Guide $95 (includes shipping) which includes answers to all of the problems in the student Application Guide. This is far more than a self-study course. To get the most out of this course, an expert instructor is available for questions as you take this course, so you are definitely not on your own! After successful completion of this course, each registered student will receive an official Certificate of Completion.
