INT 45020 - Costs and Tools of Quality

1.71 CR
The challenge for manufacturers is to reduce costs without sacrificing quality. Low quality and defective parts drive up the costs of production, which naturally drives up the price of the finished product. In this module, the student will learn the economics of quality, quality as a system; the tools used to measure and improve quality; the concepts of statistics used to control a process; process capability; and what this element reveals about a process.

Course Learning Outcomes:
  1. Describe quality systems and quality methods.
  2. Develop a quality plan.
  3. Apply quality management principles to manufacturing processes.
  4. Calculate the components of a Statistical Process Control (SPC)
  5. Distinguish between common and special cause variation.
