Watching from South Africa ,Thank you Andy...I'm doing my Certified quality technician. CQT Training course...I find you videos helping me a lot.. The fact is u make clear example.... hopefully I will pass my CQT exams
It was refreshing to watch your video. I wanted to brush up my fundamentals about the Gauge R&R and I watched multiple videos on TH-cam, but your video and explanation was detail, to the point and easy to understand. I am eagerly waiting for part 3 of the series. When are you planning to release? P.S. : - I used to work for Alcon in Houston Facility and had an opportunity to talk to you couple of times. It's good to see your here again online. I wish you the best. :D
Thanks for this. What do you do if you can’t collect a sample of parts that span your tolerance. ? Can you just isolate the inspection tool by grabbing the min and the max of the sample parts?
Thank you for this excellent tutorial! I do have one question at 14min 10s where you calculate the reproducibility value. How did you come up values for n * r?
When looking up up the d2 factor for reproducibility you stay in the n=1 row, and then your m-value is equal to the number of appraisers. So in my case, I had 3 operators, so my m-value = 3, and my d2 factor = 1.912
@@greenbeltacademy Sorry, I should be little more elaborate on my question. For the Appraiser Variation (AV) equation, the 2nd half of the equation is (EV^2)/(n*r). How did you come up with the value for n and r? I saw you had 10 for n and 3 for r. Can you explain what do they stand for?
This is a tricky concept to explain, but when we calculator the operator range, we evaluated only 3 different values (Average of A, Average of B and Average of C). So in that calculation we don't consider the 10 samples that were measured. Which is odd I know, and that m-value reflects the number of operators.
Yes! I would try to include samples in your experiment that are non-conforming. The logic here is that you should want to ensure precision for true failures that you expect to see during routine production.
Good question! 10 parts is sort of the industry standard. Outside of that, I’d say that 10 samples is generally enough samples to capture the entire design specification range, while also providing enough measurement values to estimate the repeatability and reproducibility.
I have taken samples of 100x on part and another data set of 10x 10 parts. For calculating repeatability(R-double bar/d2) ,I'm using d2=3.088 on the 10x 10parts. what d2 should I use for the 100x on one part? Thanks
Hey Frank, that sounds hypothetical, and I've never seen that before. Technically, if the EV is large the operator range will reflect/capture/include that variation (hence the subtraction), and operators tend to create variation in a measurement system, so I've never seen AV turn into a negative number. A negative number is impossible, you can't have negative variation.
Hey Syed! You're using the right approach when looking at the data! That would be a good hypothesis for that situation, and you could prove that theory by observing the technique of that operator, relative to his/her peers, and evaluating their different levels of training/experience
@@huanlam2346 That n = 1 comment applies for the Pr (Part Range) which requires a different d2 factor than the repeatability calculation, where the d2 factor is evaluated differently.
I still cannot understand the AV calculation; why d2=1.912? If the subgroup size=3, the number of combinations of parts and operators (g) = 10 parts and 3 Operators = 10*3=30. Based on the d2 table, we can know that the d2=1.693 instead of 1.192. Can you explain why d2=1.192 in detail in your case study?
Sir, firstly thank you for the videos very informative. Question when doing the AV @ 14:15, you said use n=1, but in the video it shows n=10...just checking and want to make sure if this is correct.
Great question! okay, so in that equation, when looking up the d2 factor, the "n" value that we use is always equal to 1, which is why in the equation I use 1.912 as the d2 factor. However, in that same equation (and I get how confusing this is), when calculating AV, that n value is still 10 because there are 10 samples in the gauge R&R
@@greenbeltacademy But *why* are we forcing "n" to equal 1 when selecting a d2 value? The table includes options for when multiple samples are used, which on first glance would indicate we use an "n" of 10. Why is it, then, that we only use the "n" value when calculating the AV and *not* for selecting the correct d2 value?
@@loganfarrow9811 Hey Logan, great question. To be honest, I've never seen an amazing explanation on this approach. I've always understood the sub-group sample size (m) correlating with the number of operators in the experiment because that's the number of measurements that you're including in the range calculation. However, I would assume that the sample size is based on the number of range values included in that calculation, which is simply just 1 since we only calculate the operator range one time.
Thank you for such a nice video! However, there is one question that lingers in my mind after watching this. So basically in Gauge R&R, you want to measure standard deviation (SD), which can be directly computed from your measured data. Thus my question then is, why bother calculating it "indirectly" from the values of range (R) and d2. Thanks!
Another question is the meaning of the R double bar. This is used to calculate the inherent variation of WITHIN the instrument. However, R double bar is calculated by taking the average of the range values from ALL OPERATOR and also from DIFFERENT ITEMS. Does this means that the R double bar also carries with it the variance of "operator to operator" and "item to item"? It kind of does not make sense here.
Hey There! Okay, great question about range versus standard deviation. The answer to this question (I believe) is somewhat historical. Years ago, when the GR&R method was first developed, calculations were done by hand, and range values are easier to calculate than standard deviation. Hence the method today. Now that we have minitab, ANOVA has become a much more popular method for evaluating GR&R, and the ANOVA method does calculate standard deviation directly instead of the range.
@@subasa83No, R-double bar doesn't not include the variation between operators because that variation blocks out any contribution from the operator or the parts. Remember, those range values that we use to calculate R-double bar, is ONLY the variation within a single operator, within a single sample. So any variation that is expressed into those range values comes from the measurement equipment itself.
@@subasa83 hmm that's weird, I thought I had already replied to that question. So honestly the answer has to do with history. Historically, Quality Engineerings made these calculations by hand, and the range value is so much easier to calculate by hand than the standard deviation. Now that we have software like minitab, we use ANOVA which calculates the SD instead of the range value. Hopefully that makes sense!
Great question - and that's a tricky part of the whole process, so in that reproducibility calculation we use n = 10 because that sample size is used as an adjustment factor to essentially eliminate EV from the AV calculation. However when using the table to look up the d2 factor for AV you use a different perspective.
Thanks @@egwinharianto2851 ! Okay, so that n is the number of samples used in the Gauge R&R (10 in this example), and r is the number of replicate measurements (3 in this example).

At 14:09 why you took value of N equals to 1?
because n represent sample size and in our case it is equals to 10.

@@CQEAcademy so in all case we took the value of n equals to 1 while measuring reproducability?
@@pawandeepsingh8380 Yes!
When choosing parts or samples should you choose known out of tolerance parts?
Yes! I would try to include samples in your experiment that are non-conforming.

What if R0 is super small where AV turns into a negative number before the sqrt?

Technically, if the EV is large the operator range will reflect/capture/include that variation (hence the subtraction), and operators tend to create variation in a measurement system, so I've never seen AV turn into a negative number.
A negative number is impossible, you can't have negative variation.
If the measurement itself is a combination of operator decision making and the tool is the analysis still valid?
Yes absolutely, and you can quantify the variation that originates from the operators (and their interpretation) in that reproducibility value
