8. Using freely available
spreadsheet off of the Internet
for Excel analysis of GRR a
model was developed for
analysis using these 2
boundary conditions

9. Test Engineers
have been told to
follow 2 boundary
conditions
1. The error in the
measurement has to be 10
times less than the
measured value.
2. The error between the
USL and LSL has to be 10%
of the difference between
USL and LSL

Critical Evaluation with underlying Test
Engineering Boundary Conditions
The model created is using an OE (offset error of
±4mV with GE (gain error = 0%). The initial
evaluation used 10 samples, 3 tests, 3 Testers. One
tester had 0 offset, another -4mV, and the third
+4mV. Repeatability was 0.0001 to insure that just
equipment reproducibility is what is being examined.
Manage Instrument Error to achieve a passing
qualification on devices for GRR: ANOVA or XBAR&R
The experiment objective is to understand instrument
specification and how it affects GRR ALONE

12. How do these affect GRR
Results
âą There are essentially 2 methods for doing GRR
âą ANOVA
âą Xbar&R
âą Spreadsheets for each can be found on the internet free of
charge. Some with just one of the methods or the other, and
at least one with both methods in the spreadsheet.
âą Each method was confirmed to give the same results with
identical data when comparing ANOVA to ANOVA and
Xbar&R to Xbar&R

13. The question is:
Are the 2 boundary conditions listed on slides 6 and 7 necesary
and sufficient to insure that the goal of GRR 10% passes?
1. Random samples within USL and LSL
2. 10 perfect evenly distributed samples within USL and LSL
3. 10 select samples to cause worst case within center ±50% of perfect samples placement
4. 10 select samples to cause worst case within center ±100% of perfect samples placement
5. 10 select samples to cause worst case within center ±150% of perfect samples placement
6. 10 select samples to cause worst case within center ±200% of perfect samples placement
6 ways to look at:
# Instrument errors range from 10X to shown on graphs
13
14. Necessary Equations
The diagram on Slide 2 shows 11X for instrument errors
to take into account the need for repeatability. This
works out to a GRR of approximately 9% for just
instrument errors, which is the objective of the exercise
USL =
LSL 1+10GE( )+ 20OE
1â10GE
USL â LSL = ÎCV
ÎCV = 10 GE i(USL + LSL)+ 2 iOE( )
ÎCV = 20 iOE +10 GE i(USL + LSL)( )

The model created us using an OE (offset error of ±4mV with GE
(gain error = 0%). The initial evaluation used 10 samples, 3 tests, 3
Testers. One tester had 0 offset, another -4mV, and the third +4mV.
Repeatability was 0.0001 to insure that just equipment reproducibility
is what is being examined.

17. Random selection of measurement for 10 DUTs with zero offset, +
offset and - offset.
1.5200 10 device randomly selected measurement values
using Monte Carlo simulations for Xbar&R from Statistical
Solutions, Tolerance and GRR results.
2.1010 10 device randomly selected measurement values
using Monte Carlo simulations using the ANOVA method
from www.dmaictools.com, Tolerance and GRR results.
Lower Specification limits started at 40mV (10X), Upper Specification limit start at 120mV (10X), ranging to
40X instrument errors. This means that the difference between USL-LSL, ranged from 10X to 40X.
Simulations were done for a process distribution width of 5.15 (encloses the central 99% of the process
distribution).

To read the graph, 20 on the X axis is the number of instrument errors. For GRR ANOVA,
approximately 0.5% of the simulation results showed greater than a GRR of 10%. For

30. For 9% GRR the correct choices for allowable
instrument error to achieve the desired 10%
GRR with the 1% selection for repeatability are:
âą Primary conclusion: Initial boundary condition is NOT SUFFICIENT to pass GRR at all!!
âą Perfect parts and ONLY instrument error use 5.43% to 6.06% of the GRR 10% Goal
âą Perfect parts and ONLY instrument error use 2.7% to 3.02% of the GRR 5% Goal
âą Perfect parts, ONLY instrument and Sample Placement variation error use 4.22% to 5.62% of the GRR 10% Goal
âą Perfect parts, ONLY instrument and Sample Placement variation error use 2.09% to 2.80% of the GRR 5% Goal
âą Sample placement accounts for up to 1.3% of GRR 10% Goal for ANOVA
âą Sample placement accounts for up to 0.63% of GRR 10% Goal for XBAR&R
