Measurement for Manufacturing <br />Taking measurements is a key task for many operators and technicians in manufacturing. In this workshop, <br />you'll learn why measurements are important in manufacturing and how to properly use rulers, calipers, <br />micrometers, gauge blocks, and other measurement instruments to take linear and angular measurements. <br />Objectives: <br />- Explain why measurements are performed in manufacturing. <br />- Describe the two measurement systems in use today. <br />- Explain the difference between a dimension and a tolerance. <br />- Demonstrate how to use a ruler, protractor, calipers, and micrometer to measure. <br />- Explain the purpose of gauge blocks. <br />- Explain the purpose and types of go/no-go gauges. <br />- Explain the purpose of a gauge R&R study. <br />- Explain the purpose and functionality of other common measurement tools used in manufacturing, including <br />dial indicators, height gauges, scales, and coordinate measurement machines. <br />- Explain the purpose of validation and calibration of measurement tools. <br />Intended audience: quality control/assurance technicians and inspectors; other manufacturing personnel whose <br />jobs require use of measurement tools and are new to manufacturing. <br />Quality Tools and Techniques <br />Quality is a significant concern of all companies and organizations; to stay in business, companies must offer <br />a quality product or service that meets or exceeds the needs of the customer. All employees, including line <br />workers, technicians, and office workers, affect quality. In this workshop, you'll learn more about what quality <br />is and why it is important. You'll also learn some key quality terms and learn to create and use tools <br />organizations commonly use to monitor and improve quality. <br />Objectives: <br />- Define "quality." <br />- Explain how employees affect quality. <br />- Define key quality terms, including specification, defect, and variation. <br />- Describe the following quality tools and their purposes: process map, run chart, control chart, histogram, A <br />check sheet, Pareto chart, fishbone diagram, and scatter diagram. <br />- Describe the purpose of quality audits and explain in general terms the audit process. <br />- List common problem -solving methods. <br />Intended audience: <br />- Individuals new to manufacturing or the workforce. <br />- individuals seeking work. <br />- Individuals desiring to upgrade their workplace skills. <br />Purdue MEP Center mep.purdue.edu 800-877-5182 Project #18871 Page 12 <br />
