Example - Determining Repeatability and Reproducibility by Range Method

Two appraisers each measured five parts once to determine repeatability and reproducibility using the Range method. The range for each part was calculated as the absolute difference between the measurements, and these ranges were summed and averaged. This average range was then used along with the number of parts and appraisers to calculate the total measurement variability according to the formula provided. This measurement variation was then converted to a percentage of the known process standard deviation to determine if the measurement system was acceptable or in need of improvement.

Example – Determining Repeatability and Reproducibility by Range Method

The Range method typically uses two appraisers and five parts for the study. In this study, both
appraisers measure each part once. The range for each part is the absolute difference between the
measurement obtained by appraiser A and the measurement obtained by appraiser B. The sum of the
ranges is found and the average range ( ) is calculated. The total measurement variability is found by
multiplying the average range by 1/ , where is found from table with m = 2 and g = number
of parts.

To determine what percentage of the process standard deviation the measurement variation consumes,
convert the GRR to a percentage by multiplying by 100 and dividing by the process standard deviation.
In the example, the process standard deviation for this characteristic is 0.0777, the %GRR is
determined to be 75.7% and the conclusion is that the measurement system is in need of improvement.
