TEXT:
Statistical Quality Design and Control
By R. DeVor, T. Chang and J. Sutherland
CLASS HOURS: 6:00 – 8:50 pm Wednesday, KH 105
OFFICE HOURS: 1200-1300 TTH, 1700-1800 W
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. To provide an understanding of philosophy, principles and
methodologies for improving process quality
2. To provide an understanding of the importance to have a profound
knowledge about a system/process.
3. To develop knowledge of statistic theory and its application in process
quality control.
4. To develop a capability of applying quality tools (including Control
charts, Pareto Diagrams, Cause and Effect Diagrams and Designed
experiments) to solve real world problems, and present the results.
5. To develop a skill for determining wither a process is capable of
producing product with required quality and improving a process to the
desired quality.
6. To provide a knowledge of ISO 9001-2000
