Webinar on Calibrating the Human Gage: Attribute Agreement Analysis

Overview: 

Defining Attribute Agreement Analysis (AAA): A review of basic AAA analysis. Will cover the 3 basic types of agreements: Agreement with oneself, Agreement to a peer, Agreement to the standard. Both the "Statistical AAA" and the Kappa value will be reviewed. Confidence levels for the result bands will also be reviewed. Incorporation of AAA into the Control Plan and frequency of "calibration" will be reviewed.

How It Works: Session attendees will observe the step by step actions taken to undergo an AAA and its iterative results. A review of the 3 basic types of agreements will be conducted. 

Why should you Attend: 

Humans CAN BE calibrated. Control plans call out for "MSA" analysis on key processes. Inevitably, these mainly focus on features measured by variables gaging systems. However, MSA analysis should also be applied to processes are attribute-based and are inspected visually and/or via methods where gaging/tools aren’t used (largely due to the need for cost savings or efficiency). 

Some examples are the interpretation of color, grey scale analysis, glossiness, chips/dings, surface imperfections like scratches or pinholes and voids, paint coverage, etc. Many businesses rely upon the skills of their personnel to interpret these go/no go attribute features. When personnel do not repeatedly and accurately disposition the product they evaluate, several different types of business losses can be incurred including loss of time via arguments, over and/or under rejecting of product with associated losses, unplanned premium freight, etc.
