Learning
Objectives
In this program, the audience (students) learn :
Quality Assurance analysis tools are normally thought of as manufacturing and process oriented statistical analysis tools. So, why utilize them in metrology and testing applications? They are used in many indirect ways in metrology even when laboratory personnel do not think they are using them. When one checks their standards at a regular interval, performs intermediate checks and record the data, they are informally performing the first half function of control charts. Comparing results of one calibrator versus another is another informal approach of analyzing data.
This seminar formalizes different techniques used in calibration and testing laboratories, so more information is derived from the data gathering exercise. As a result there is more confidence in the analysis of data and results reported. Typical applications of Quality Assurance Analysis Tools extend to:
  • Check Standards
  • Stability Studies
  • Characterize Drift
  • Long Term Reproducibility
  • Predicting Out of Tolerance (OOT) conditions
  • Determine Realistic tolerances
  • Determine Uncertainties
  • Proposed changes to the ISO 17025

    Summary
    - Applicable techniques for both testing and calibration laboratories are taught using a hand-on approach. A computer spreadsheet is used to demonstrate the calculation techniques. Participants are provided the spreadsheet at the end of seminar for future reference.
