?? Your Process Capability is High, But Defects Still Exist?
Here’s Why Your Measurement System Might Be Failing You!
Your process has a high Cp and Cpk, meaning it should be producing consistent, high-quality output.
But despite this, customer complaints about product variation are increasing. Sound familiar?
?? If your process capability is great, but defects keep slipping through, the real problem might not be the process—it might be your measurement system!
Let’s break it down.
?? The Hidden Problem: Measurement System Variation
Many companies assume that if their Cp and Cpk values are high, the process is under control.
But what if the data you’re using to assess the process isn’t reliable?
Here’s what could be happening:
? Gauges aren’t precise enough to detect true variations.
? Operators measure the same part differently, leading to inconsistent readings.
? The environment (temperature, pressure, humidity) affects measurements.
? Measurement tools are calibrated, but still lack repeatability.
These small errors in measurement add up leading to false acceptances or rejections of parts and, ultimately, dissatisfied customers.
?? How Do You Fix This? Conduct a Gage R&R Study!
A Gage Repeatability & Reproducibility (Gage R&R) study helps determine:
? Whether your measurement system is consistent.
? If operators get different results on the same part.
? If your measurement tools are accurate and precise.
A process is only as good as the data used to monitor it.
If your measurement system is flawed, your process improvements won’t deliver real results!
