GRRTraining Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility is a measure of the capability of a gauge or gage to obtain the same measurement reading every time the measurement process is undertaken for the same characteristic or parameter.? In other words, GRR indicates the consistency and stability of a measuring equipment. Repeatability Repeatability is the ability of the same gage to give consistent measurement readings no matter how many times the same operator of the gage repeats the measurement process. ? Reproducibility Reproducibility, on the other hand, is the ability of the same gage to give consistent measurement readings regardless of who performs the measurements.? The evaluation of a gages reproducibility, therefore, requires measurement readings to be acquired by different operators under the same conditions. Factors affect the Measurement There are five (5) major elements of a measurement system, all of which contribute to the variability of a measurement process: 1) the standard; 2) the workpiece; 3) the instrument; 4) the people; and 5) the environment. Minimize Variation and Gage Design Measurement errors, therefore, can only be minimized if the errors or variations contributed individually by each of these factors can also be minimized. Still, the gage is at the center of any measurement process, so its proper design and usage must be ensured to optimize its repeatability and reproducibility. Equipment Variation, EV EV, the repeatability of the measurement process.? It is calculated from measurement data obtained by the same operator from several cycles of measurements, or trials, using the same equipment. Appraiser Variation, AV AV, represents the reproducibility of the measurement process.? It is calculated from measurement data obtained by different operators or appraisers using the same equipment under the same conditions.? RR RR, is just the combined effect of EV and AV. Part Variation, PV PV represents the effect of the
