MSA Studies – Net-Inspect

Navigation Path: APQP > MSA Studies

The "MSA Studies" page lists every Measurement System Analysis (Gage R&R) study your company has created. Clicking a study number opens it — a study still being recorded opens on the Record Study Measurements page, and a study that has been calculated, approved or cancelled opens on the Gage R&R Results page.

Optional. Limits the list to one study type. Options are "All types", "Gage R&R (Variable)" and "Gage R&R (Attribute)".

Updated
