Here we have taken a hypothetical example of a supplier of a product whose target= 43.1, Tolerance: +/-0.13 (0.26 total) and USL = 43.11 + .13 = 43.24, LSL = 43.11 - .13 = 42.98.
The supplier measured 10 samples of the product with three appriasers. Below data from excel shows that there is no part variation
By running frequency histogram, we will find that capability indices- Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk are good (as shown below)
By putting this data into QI Macros Gage R&R template we will get the following data:
NDC(Number of Distinct CategoriesIt) is a measurement of the variation in your sample parts. If it is less than 5, there isn't enough part variation to use the Average and Range Method to calculate Gage R&R.
