    By Part-to-Part varition I understand you mean the Total Study Variation due to parts chosen for the GRR study.

    The basic criteria of 10%-30% as defined by AIAG is based on this variation. There are two ways to evaluate based on the pourpose for which the gage is used.

    If the gage is used for SPC or capability studies, the parts chosen must represent the actual variation in the process. You can also use the Standard Deviation calculated during SPC in place of study variation.

    If the gage is used for final part inspection against tolerance, the %Tolerance metric should be used. If possible parts should be chosen to reflect the tolerance.

    In all seriousness, which would be used if the gage is used for BOTH SPC and final part inspection?

    In that scenario, use both to verify that the gage is suitable for both applications.
