I Googled for something completely different, but found your page…and have to say thanks. nice read….

Do you have measuring devices as part of your quality control system? Ever wonder how you need to control them if you want to get ISO9001:2000 registered?

I almost forgot. There’s an interesting website, edu-cyberpg.com that deals with computer & internet technologies and education. Most of their focus has been areas other than physical sciene, but they are realizing they are missing something by not reaching out.

FYI, if you haven’t run across them, there’s a very dedicated group at the Library of The University of Pennsylvania working, much like Google Scholar and Project Gutenburg, to bring as many books to the public via the Web as possible. They go by the name “Book People”. They are at onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/ and well worth a visit.

Sorry, I don’t mean to give you that impression. What I meant was that your work is a fine example of how some new tools on the Web can be used in education and the follow up will some examples from your instructional videos, I’ll keep my open; and let you know I do a lot of searching in educational spaces on the Web.

You mentioned another group doing social networking. Could you link me to information about it? I’d love to see what they are doing and how I might be able to use it to improve my own endeavor.

Thanks for your comment. I’ll have a look at your email later today and perhaps respond directly.

You have illustrated part of the problem of setting up a meaningful Gage R&R test; one needs multiple repeats with multiple operators to measure results from multiple objects that are different in the parameter you wish to measure.

The questions about how much of each and how repeatable each is will be answered by the measurement results, correctly analyzed. Minitab should do the analysis “with its eyes closed”..

The purpose of the Gage R&R test, as I understand it, is to separate and quantify the two major sources of measurement variation, the equipment and the operators.

But the measurements need to also be under conditions that are highly repeatable and stable to begin with. Sounds like something is changing and you are not fully aware of it. Maybe, maybe not; I’ll check your email for details.
