ISO 17025 requires that measurement uncertainties of the various parameters in the calibration and testing process be quantified in order for the calibration/tests to be traceable and valid. This workshop covers the necessary topics required by the ISO 17025 standard for compliance. Workshop participants gain hands-on experience on quantifying measurement uncertainty which can be applied in any testing and calibration application. ELEARNING is included as a prerequisite for attendee and staff unable to attend.

The workshop is designed for technicians, engineers, metrologists, quality/laboratory managers and other personnel who want to understand the concept of applying and managing Measurement Uncertainty data. The workshop content is arranged in a basic, building-block format so that participants can understand and implement all aspects of Measurement Uncertainty. Timely, hands-on Measurement Uncertainty examples are given during the workshop to provide familiarity and experience.
Topics Covered

Standards and Practices Definitions and Basic Concepts
Basic Statistics Uncertainty Distributions
Uncertainty Calculations Combining Uncertainty Methods
Determining Expanded Uncertainty Analyzing and Reporting Uncertainty
Applying Uncertainty Data Special Topics (T.A.R. vs. T.U.R. etc.)
Analyzing and understanding Calibration Reports Decision Rules

New ISO 17025:2005 data analysis requirements explained!

This workshop uses computer spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel© ) to demonstrate Measurement Uncertainty techniques. Workshop participants are encouraged to bring a scientific calculator to the workshop to perform exercises. All other materials are provided. Use of a laptop computer is encouraged but not necessary. A spreadsheet template is provided to the attendees.

$1295. per person, group and gov discounts

Statistical Process Control (SPC) using control chart methods is normally thought of as manufacturing and process oriented statistical analysis tools. So, why utilize them in testing and calibration laboratory applications? They are used in many indirect ways in testing and calibration environment even when laboratory personnel do not think they are using them. When one checks their standards at a regular interval, performs intermediate checks and record the data, they are informally performing the first half function of control charts.

This workshop formalizes that approach, so useful information such as measurement uncertainty is derived from the data gathering exercise. Typical applications of control charts extend to:

Check Standards, Stability Studies, Characterizing Drift, Long Term Reproducibility
Determining Realistic Tolerances, Determining Measurement Uncertainties

Timely, hands-on examples and practical applications are demonstrated during the workshop to provide familiarity and experience. Knowledge of basic math is required but no other prior experience is necessary.
Topics Covered

Mean, Mode, Median, Range Types of Control Charts
Population and Sample Standard Deviation Decision rules for interpreting Control Chart data
Standard Deviation of the Mean SPC Applications in Calibration & Testing
Histogram, Bell Curve, Central Limit Theorem Process Capability and determining risks
z, t and F distributions Gage R & R and ANOVA techniques
Measurement Uncertainty from SPC Using spreadsheets for SPC

This workshop uses computer spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel© ) and other software applications to demonstrate SPC techniques. Attendees are provided a 30-day trial version of an Excel Add-in application for SPC and other useful tools. Workshop participants are encouraged to bring a scientific calculator to the workshop to perform exercises. All other materials are provided. Use of a laptop computer is allowed but not necessary.
