Introduction

A measurement system's analysis tools used here are to assess the precision and accuracy of the measurement system. Commonly, tools such as Gage R&R are used to assess the precision of both the measurement device and the operators to the variation in the process.

The R&R in Gage R&R stands for repeatability and reproducibility. These ...
