Measurements of accuracy: Bias, Linearity and Stability
Measurements of precision: Repeatability and Reproducibility
Type 1 Gage Study - Conditions for conducting, Minitab Example, Basic Statistics, Bias, Capability (Cg and Cgk), Percent Variation. In addition to interpreting the results, this section will explain some basic concepts, such as Hypothesis Testing and Process Capability.
Run Chart - This will show the results of the gage study in an easy-to-understand graphical format.
Linearity and Bias Study
Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (GRR) - Crossed - Range Method, Average and Range Method, ANOVA Method, Number of Distinct Categories (NDC). In addition to interpreting the results of the Crossed GRR Study, this section also covers a lecture to explain the basics of ANOVA.

Thank you Teacher! I am amazed by the quality of your lessons. That's what I need. But one thing that makes it difficult for me to understand your lesson is that your English reading voice is not very good and it makes me feel distracted.

Concepts are explained with an simple examples and demo. This might also serve as a lifetime refresher on the topic and provide answers to any practical questions.

I think this course is excellent. A great way of explaining things in a simple manner and at the end of each session there is like a quick resume of the points seen in class. It helped a lot.

The instructor was very clear in the explanations and topics. The use of repetition at key areas was also great. I thank him for helping me understand MSA so much better.

Lot of new learnings in refreshing the course. Thanks for the good course. Have some queries also, hope I can get clarify it in common platform discussions. If I have an opportunity to share the queries with Mr.Sandeep, glad to share it.

Excellent course full of useful knowledge presented in a very clear and transparent way. The only reason I gave it 4.5 stars instead of 5 is that (1) the course presents theory and practice blended together in a way that sometimes it can be difficult for the learner to know whether it is theory or a particular application of the theory that is being presented. This may be obvious to an expert but not so to a learner; (2) towards the end of the course the steam seems to have run out, the quizzes just sort of disappeared, and the course ends somewhat unceremoniously, without an attempt to look back on the entire course; and (3) the quizzes are very unchallenging, however, this is to some extent compensated by the free QG test and certificate option, which is appreciated! Otherwise, the course delivers what it promises to deliver. The tutor evidently cares about the subject matter and has been very helpful and responsive regarding questions. A bit of a rarity these days, really! I have already purchased another course from the same tutor. Thanks a lot!
