Prerequisites
Mathematical statistics, Industrial Organization, Quality Management and EngineeringIntended learning outcomes
The course provides a comprehensive coverage of statistical approaches and methods for industrial quality management. After the completed course, the student shall be able to;
- demonstrate deep knowledge about statistical methods for quality technology and management, and in a systematic way select methods to solve advanced quality related problems within industry and service production
- discuss the occurrence and consequences of variation in industrial processes and from a systems perspective identify situations where statistical methods can contribute to improvement of products and processes
- plan and conduct industrial improvement projects based on advanced statistical methods for quality improvement
- on an advanced level discuss principles for collection and analysis of process information for development of processes and products
- analyse and identify improvement needs for measurement systems in industrial organisations
- explain and discuss how procedures for statistical quality control can be implemented and contribute to development in industrial organisations
Course content
Understanding of variation, statistical process control, process improvements through statistical analysis, 7 QC tools, advanced forms of control charts (EWMA, CUSUM, Shewhart charts), Moving Range techniques, time series analyses, control charts for attribute data, capability studies, process mapping, visualisation techniques for effective decision making, statistical analyses in Excel and MINITAB, measurement system analysis, implementation of performance measurement and control.
Teaching and working methods
The course is organised around lectures and workshops where important thematic areas are presented. The course is examined through written assignments, participation in case seminars, lab exercises and a large project that is conducted in cooperation with an industrial company.
