Many quality problems, including supplier issues, have root causes related to poor metrology or requirements definition (Operational Definitions).  This presentation will cover the basic elements of precision assessment using Gage R&R evaluation.  A connection between Gage R&R metrics, process metrics, and misclassification probability shall be explored as well.
