Abstract

This study focuses on the contribution of the Measurement System Analysis (MSA) in the automotive textile industry. Usually, to determine the quality of work and workers, correct indicators are required. So, it is essential to stabilize the measurement system providing these indicators. In this paper, the gage R&R was used to analyze three measurement systems. Using the indicators "repeatability" and "reproducibility", the source of variation was located for unstable systems. After the improvement plans application, measurement processes were reassessed. Once the systems were stabilized, the new measurement procedures were kept. To emphasize the contribution of this work, a comparative study between the measurement systems before and after stabilization was performed. The difference between the data resulting from the old and the new measurement systems confirmed that the stabilization influenced the judgment indicators. Thus, the measurement system stabilization strengthened the reliability of the extracted data and guaranteed a fair process’s judgment.
