GAGE R&R STUDY

RHONA LIZA CRUZ

GAGE REPEATABILITY AND REPRODUCIBILITY

Methodology used to define the amount of variability in the measurements due to the
measurement system. Then compare this variability with the total variability to determine
the actual variability of the measurement system.
REPEATABILITY

Repeatability is the variation between successive measurements of the same part, same
characteristic, by the same person using the same gage.
REPRODUCIBILITY

Reproducibility is the difference in the average of the measurements made by different

people using the same instrument when measuring the identical characteristic on the same
part.
TYPES OF GAGE R&R STUDY

CROSSED GAGE R&R NESTED GAGE R&R EXPANDED GAGE R&R

METHODS TO PERFORM GAGE R&R

• Range Method: The range method will provide a quick approximation of measurement
variability, but it does not compute measurement system repeatability and reproducibility
separately.
• Average and range method: The average and range method quantifies the measurement
system’s variability and provides repeatability, reproducibility, and part variation. Only crossed
Gage R&R can be performed with average and range method.
• Analysis of Variance method: It is the most widely used and accurate method for
measurement system repeatability and reproducibility. It also quantifies the variability of the
interaction between the operator and the parts. Gage R&R (crossed, nested and expanded)
can be performed with ANOVA method.
