    Standardizing Measurement Accuracy

    A Measurement System Analysis study was conducted at a starch manufacturing company as a part of the project to reduce the variation in starch moisture content. One of the causes identified was lack of standardization in the use of the moisture meter and hence the study was performed. A crossed Gage R&R design was used in the study. Key improvements involved installing a vibration stabilizer table for the moisture meter, revision to the SOPs, training of the floor staff by the lab technician on how the sample has to be collected and spread on the dish. With the improved calibration within the team, the measurements were more accurate and correction of the measurement system reduced the range of moisture content from 4.6%-17.4% to 7.1% – 15.3%.
