LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Discuss definition of quality with respect to different measures and business type, and the role of quality and quality improvement in an organization.
  • Describe the value of descriptive statistics an analysis of variation in the context of statistical process control.
  • Describe the differences between types of quality characteristics in association with the type of business environment and goals.
  • Define the critical-to-quality characteristics in a process
  • Identify the type of SPC techniques based on the type of the process and the characteristics.
  • Construct the correct type of control chart, interpret the results on control charts
  • Identify the performance of control charts with respect to different measure based on statistical analysis for a given process and a set of quality characteristics.
  • Determine the capability of an in-control process with respect to different generations of process capability measures.
  • Isolate the components of variation by distinguishing the variability caused by the measurement system
  • Assess the capability and appropriateness of the system with respect to standardized performance measures.
  • Describe the use acceptance sampling techniques in off-line quality control
  • Determine the correct type of sampling method based on the process/product type.
