Catalog Course Description
Introduction to total quality management philosophies and ISO 9000 standards; design and analysis of statistical process control systems; Six Sigma problem solving tools; acceptance sampling techniques; reliability testing; evaluation of the source of variation; design of experiments; failure modes & effects analysis; quality by design and introduction to Taguchi approach.
Course Learning Outcomes:
| 1. | Define product and process quality; identify inefficiencies within manufacturing or service operations using Lean Six Sigma tools |
|---|---|
| 2. | Collect and visualize data on process parameters, inputs and outputs after validating measurement systems in order to assess process capability |
| 3. | Identify root causes of process inefficiencies using statistical analysis such as Hypothesis Testing or Multiple Regression |
| 4. | Develop and test process improvement solutions with Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) |
| 5. | Generate statistical process control (SPC) plans with appropriate SPC tools or acceptance sampling strategies |
