The Gage Run Chart plots the measurements by operator and by part, and a reference line at the overall mean. It is used to visualise measurement between different operators and parts. If there are multiple trials, only the first 10 trials will be plotted.
At the Excel Menu (For Excel 2007, go to Add-ins first)
Choose ProcessMA > Quality Tools > Gage R and R > Gage Run Chart
In Measurement, select the column containing measurement data (Numeric)
In Part, select the column containing part indicators (>=2 distinct values)
In Operator, select the column containing operator indicators
In Trial, select the column containing trial numbers
In Historical Mean, enter a value for the reference line, else the mean of the measurements will be used
Click OK
You collected measurements made by 3 different operators on 10 different parts. You want to use the Gage Run Chart to assess the measurement differences between operators and parts.
Open data worksheet by choosing ProcessMA > Tools > Data
Choose ProcessMA > Quality Tools > Gage R and R > Gage Run Chart
In Measurement, select AQ - Measurement
In Part, select AR - Part
In Operator, select AS - Operator
Click OK
From the chart, it seems that most of the variation is due to differences between parts. It also appears that Operator 1 is relatively inconsistent and Operator 2’s second measurement is frequently smaller than the first measurement.
