Learning outcomes

The goal for the study course are that the participant shall be able to independently perform:

  • Design of experiments with multi-factor two level plans and orthogonal matrix
  • Calculation of capability and control limits for statistical process control
  • Customer demands measurements using questionnaires and conjoint analysis and transform these into product design using quality function deployment
  • Improvement projects in production using 6sigma tools
  • Plan maintenance of machine system using Weibull analysis and Total Production Maintenance

Course main content

The course encompasses the most common quality tools such as the 7 QC tools, QFD, design of experiments, process analysis, and statistical methods including SPC. Furthermore risk analysis using FMEA, FTA, and block diagram. Also included is how these methods are introduced into the management system. Methods for continual improvements will be covered.

Eligibility
