Measurement System Analysis (MSA) is one of the five tools of quality management, why it is applied, and what statistical characteristics it has? What is Measurement System Analysis (MSA)? A measurement system is a collection of instruments or measuring tools, standards, operations, fixtures, software, personnel, environment, and assumptions used for quantitative measurement or qualitative evaluation of the measured characteristics. The whole process used to obtain the measurement results is called the measurement process or measurement system. Measurement System Analysis re......

To strengthen their advantages in the market, manufacturers should not only continuously improve product quality but also constantly improve the efficiency of production. The automatic and intelligent surface defect detection method is helpful. Technical Difficulties & Challenges in Surface Detect Detection 1) Difficulties caused by defectsThe complexity of different types of defects and the great difference between the same type of defects bring a great difficulty to detection. The complexity of different defects is mainly reflected in three aspects. First of all, there ar......

An automobile is a hybrid complex system that is composed of a huge number of parts, each playing its own unique role in the whole car. However, similar to other components, quality control, and inspection is essential for the car parts after manufacturing to ensure their quality and function. So let’s see what automotive parts need to be inspected and what tests are included. Types of Automotive Parts The quality of car parts matters directly to safety. It is necessary to ensure their performance. The auto parts are mainly composed of the following eight sections. Aut......

Inspection is an important step in the maintenance of machine parts in the mechanical industry. What items need to be checked and how to inspect them? Inspection Items of Mechanical Components During the quality inspection and maintenance of the machine parts, a lot of characteristics need to be inspected and verified. 1) Geometric accuracy Geometric accuracy includes dimensional accuracy and shape and position accuracy, but sometimes the maintenance work is not to pursue the geometric size of a single part but to require relative fitting accuracy, which is often an important p......

Dimensional accuracy refers to the accuracy of the dimensions of a specified part, such as the length, diameter, thickness, and keyway width of the workpiece. This dimensional accuracy is important for the part to be integrated into the machine and operate properly. If the dimensions are incorrect, it can cause the machine to fail. To prevent this, tolerances must be indicated in the drawing so that the dimensional accuracy of the critical parts is available when designing the part. For example, when designing a bearing with an outer diameter of Φ25 axis, it is necessary to indic......

The environmental audit is the activity carried out, periodically, by an organization to evaluate the performance of its management for the care of the environment and, in the case of being obliged to comply with a standard, a law or a standard, verify compliance with those requirements. Other activities, with similar purposes and which are also very important for the success of management such as inspections and reviews, are often confused or taken as an environmental audit, without being so. The differences between them go beyond the semantic. In the case of the audit, for e......

Starting to work with foreign suppliers in general is a real challenge. In particular for a new importer! Language and cultural barriers, and lack of experience can discourage and slow down projects. However, with these simple steps and the help of an expert, efficient supplier selection in Asia becomes easier: Supplier Search Determine the needs to be able to filter several elements such as: – The activity of the supplier (manufacturer, marketer).– The characteristics of the product (shapes, sizes, colors, weights, dimensions, possibility of customizing with a logo for exa......
