About This Checklist
The Automotive Measurement System Analysis (MSA) Audit Checklist is a critical tool for ensuring the reliability and accuracy of measurement systems in automotive manufacturing. As an integral part of the AIAG Core Tools, MSA plays a vital role in validating the quality of data used for decision-making in production processes. This comprehensive checklist guides quality professionals through the evaluation of measurement systems, helping to identify sources of variation, assess system capability, and improve overall measurement accuracy. By systematically auditing MSA practices, organizations can enhance the credibility of their quality data, optimize process control, and meet the stringent requirements of automotive industry standards.

FAQs
The checklist covers key MSA studies including Gage R&R (Repeatability and Reproducibility), bias, linearity, and stability analyses for variable and attribute measurement systems.
MSA audits should be conducted at least annually, or when new measurement systems are introduced, or significant changes are made to existing systems.
The audit should involve quality engineers, metrologists, production personnel who use the measurement systems, and representatives from the calibration department.
By ensuring accurate and reliable measurement systems, the checklist helps in making correct decisions about process and product quality, leading to overall quality improvement.
Yes, the MSA Audit Checklist is designed to cover both variable (continuous data) and attribute (pass/fail) measurement systems used in automotive manufacturing.
