Course Objectives: | The aim of the course is to provide the fundamentals of quality management including statistical quality control. The course covers causes of variation, statistical process control, control charts, quality control tools and techniques. The managerial and organizational aspects of quality, total quality management (TQM), quality awards, quality assurance systems, the IS0 certification process, six-sigma and the DMAIC process are also covered. Applications with statistical software packages are also utilized. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; I. Discuss quality, quality improvement and different dimensions of quality. II. Describe the quality management philosophies of Deming, Juran, Feigenbaum and Crosby. III. Discuss TQM, six-sigma, ISO standards and quality awards. IV. Explain the steps of DMAIC. V. Recognize the chance and assignable causes of variability in a process. VI. Use the basic process improvement tools of statistical process control. VII. Evaluate confidence intervals for one sample and for comparing two samples. VIII. Construct different types of control charts for variables. IX. Analyze process capability using control charts. X. Construct different types of control charts for attributes. |
The course covers acceptance sampling, types of sampling plans, causes of variation, statistical process control, control charts, quality control tools and techniques. The managerial and organizational aspects of quality, total quality management (TQM), quality awards, quality assurance systems, the IS0 certification process, six-sigma and the DMAIC process are also covered. |
