Quality and metrology management

For quality engineers, metrologists and gauge managers: data and decisions first — repeated readings, uncertainty, decision rules and gauge R&R — then gauge calibration and management, ending with first-article inspection and records.

1. Measurement data, uncertainty and decisions

   Start with data and decisions: repeated readings, uncertainty budgets, decision rules and gauge R&R.

   The whole course

   1. Repeated readings, mean and standard deviation Coming soon
   2. Type A and Type B uncertainty
   3. An uncertainty budget for a caliper reading
   4. Decision rules and guard bands
   5. Gauge R&R Coming soon

2. Gauge calibration and management

   Then keep the gauges trustworthy: choosing a caliper, daily care, calibration with gauge blocks, reading certificates and managing the gauge fleet.
