Repeatability and Reproducibility techniques for the analysis of measurement systems

Abstract This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing two of the main metrological characteristics of any measurement system: Repeatability and Reproducibility. Both of these features play an important role in the analysis of the measurements and they can give us a lot of information about who and what influences any measuring system. The analysis of Repeatability and Reproducibility is generally carried out through the use of the study Gage R&R . This study permits to understand which are the decisive factors in a measurement system, and, definitively, if the process is stable, that is under statistical control or out of statistical control.
