Abstract:
In order to know the status quo of cigarette measurement system,five systems for measuring cigarette weight,circumference,length,draw resistance and hardness separately in operator's self-inspection,regular process inspection and ex-factory inspection were analyzed with MSA(measurement system analysis) method.The results showed that the precision to tolerance ratio(%
P/T) of the five measurement systems ranged from 10% to 30%,which indicated that the capacity of measurement systems satisfied the requirements for product quality assessment;the repeatability and reproducibility ratio(%
R&R) of four measurement systems(excluding hardness measurement system) ranged from 10% to 30%,which indicated that the capacity of the measurement systems satisfied the requirements for analysis and improvement of production process.
