1. To start the analysis, select “MSA” from the “Analysis” panel on the SPC for Excel ribbon. Then select “Gage R&R Studies” and “Type 1 Gage Study”.
2. A Type 1 Gage Study worksheet is added to the workbook. This is where you enter the information and results.
3. Enter the information into the top part of the worksheet. There is a comment in each cell in rows 3 to 14 in column A that explain the entry. Each entry is explained below.
- Study: optional, name of study

- Analyzed By: optional, name of person doing the analysis
- USL: required to have USL and/or LSL

- Standard Deviation Multiplier: required default is 6; study variation is this number times the standard deviation; 6 captures 99.73% of the measurements
- Measurement Increment: required used to determine if resolution is less than or equal to 5% of the tolerance
- Reference Value: required used to determine bias
4. Enter the sample number, result, and comment (optional).
5. The results are now ready to be analyzed. To analyze the results, select “MSA” from the “Analysis” panel on the SPC for Excel ribbon.
