SECTION A – INTRODUCTION
WELCOME
Dear Learner
Welcome to Quality Management Systems III study guide. This guide provides information relevant to
the field of Quality Management and must be read in conjunction with the university academic regulations.
An attendance register will be taken for each lesson. If a student is absent, the responsibility is on the
student to catch up with lessons and class exercises they have missed. He/she can refer to this
study guide for the chapters covered in class or they can ask a fellow student what was covered in
class.
STUDENTS MUST ATTEND ALL CLASSES AND TUTORIAL CLASSES EVEN IF THEY ARE
REPEATING THE SUBJECT.
You are advised to:
• Develop a study program for your private study routine (just as you will soon have to do when
you have a job after qualifying);
• Allow yourself at least one hour per class period to review the work done in class and read
ahead in view of the next class’ program; and
• Ask questions in class on any part of the work which you do not understand or with which you
have trouble. It is more important to UNDERSTAND the work than to memorise it.
The theory will serve to provide you with background principles and understanding. To enable you to
evaluate and apply these principles in an experiential mode, it will be expected of you to conduct
practical assignments. This means that if you do not prepare the theory beforehand you will disadvantage
yourself. You will be assessed on both theory and application, in tests and assignments, with a stronger
emphasis on application, as the approach is career oriented.
Please take note that this is not a continuous evaluation course. There will be an examination at the end of
the module. However, each assessment will contribute to your final mark.
Class and tutorial attendance are compulsory. However, you are strongly advised to get a class
friend/learning partner whom you can consult w i t h , should you b e unable to attend a particular lecture.
This person can then tell you what happened in class and keep you up to date with important
information.
Also, make arrangements with the friend to collect handouts and other materials on your behalf.
Handouts and test scripts will only be handed out in class and not on an individual basis.
CLASS CONDUCT
A student must come to class at the scheduled time and be seated punctually as late-comers cause a
disturbance to the lecturer and also to fellow students. Students are not allowed to have private
conversations when the lecturer is speaking, if a student has a question for the lecturer or wants to debate
~3~
something, he/ she must please raise their hand. Any student causing a disturbance in class will be asked
to quieten down, and if the student does not stop and persists to disrupt the class, he/she will be asked to
leave the lecture venue and if it happens on a frequent basis, the student will be disciplined. Debate is
strongly encouraged but with the lecturer. Students are also advised to make use of electronic devices such
as iPad, Tablets, laptop computers as well as smart phones to access any course related during class and
for class purposes only not for personal use.
Unless religiously or medically prescribed, head gears are not allowed in class (caps, hats, beanies,
hoodies, etc…)
HINT TO PASS
Always read the chapters that the lecturer is going to cover in class the night before so that you can
contribute to the lecture and ask the lecturer to explain anything that you do not understand. Pay attention
in class and listen carefully as the lecturer will stress important points when he is speaking and look out
for exam tips when he is speaking. Don’t only open your textbook the day before an assessment.
Complete the review and tutorial questions at the end of each unit. Attempt Blackboard Tests posted by the
end of every chapter, as those questions are vital for preparing for semester tests.
STUDENTS WILL BE ASKED QUESTIONS IN CLASS AND WILL HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS
ACTIVITIES. BLACKBOARD TESTS CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS YOUR FINAL MARK WILL TAKE
PLACE DURING CLASS OR TUTORIAL SESSIONS SO PLEASE READ THE CHAPTERS
BEFOREHAND AS THESE MARKS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR SEMESTER MARK.
Please ensure that your name appears on the official class list and that you are correctly
registered.
"Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a
peasant can become a doctor, that a son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that a child
of farm workers can become the president..." those are the words of President Nelson Mandela.
Good Luck for 2025

TEACHING STRATEGY
Quality Auditing Techniques 4 will consist of three formal lecture sessions of 45 minutes per session, per week,
during which all the topics related to the module will be covered. Learners are strongly encouraged to engage in
discussions with the lecturer as well as with fellow learners during discussion groups with permission granted by the
lecturer.
These lecture sessions will be supplemented by a tutorial session, which will form an integral part of the modules’
assessment of learning outcomes. During the tutorial sessions, learners will have to do a case studies and practical
problems related to the topics covered during formal lecture sessions, as well as tutorial tests which may contribute
to your final semester marks. Attendance to both formal lecture and tutorial session is compulsory, as an
attendance register will be kept. You (the student) are strongly advised to inform the lecturer or the tutor in advance,
should you miss any of the formal lecture or tutorial session, as it is a requirement that a learner should attend at
least 80% of lecture sessions in addition to the qualifying semester mark of at least 40% in order to be
admitted to the final assessment opportunities/semester examinations.
Students who fail to attend at least 80% of the scheduled sessions may be excluded from the final assessment
opportunities/semester examinations.
CONSULTATION
PLEASE NOTE THAT NO FORMAL CONSULTATIONS HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED FOR THIS SEMESTER AS THE LECTURER DOES NOT HAVE
AN OFFICE ON DFC.
Although the NO FORMAL CONSULTATIONS have been scheduled, you are strongly advised to approach your lecturer
after class, or send him an e-mail in order to schedule a meeting.
PLEASE FILL IN A CONSULTATION LOG SHEET, WITH THE OUTCOME EACH TIME YOU CONSULT WITH YOUR
LECTURER.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
To successfully master this course a learner must ensure that he/she is familiar with the End
State, Competencies, and Outcomes required for this course. The learner will be measured and
evaluated against these.
End State
The end state represents the state of behaviour displayed by the successful learner on completion
of a course. It represents the sum total of knowledge, skills and the value orientated behaviour
through the combination of all learning experiences and exposures encountered throughout the
course; that which the individual ultimately achieves and what the organisation ultimately requires.
The candidate demonstrates an insight into the multi-dimensional and integrated nature of operations
in a manufacturing, or service-oriented organization. He /she is able to elaborate on the main
considerations regarding the management of the operations function in execution of the organisational
business strategy.
Competencies
Competencies represent the knowledge, skills, and value orientation essential to ensure effective
and efficient performance of a particular task.
Outcomes
Outcomes are measurable elements of a competency. A distinction can be drawn between
hierarchy of outcomes such as those enabling other outcomes (e.g. applying a formula) and those,
which can generally be regarded as terminal outcomes (e.g. the knowledge and skill applied to make
the correct decision based on the formula used which would support a particular competency).

APPENDIX A
FACULTY: ENGINEERING AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
DEPT: QUALITY AND OPERATIONS
WARNING ABOUT PLAGIARISM
The Department of Quality and Operations Management at the University of
Johannesburg places great emphasis on integrity and ethical conduct in the
preparation of assignments. It is very important to us that all of our students know how
secondary material should be used, as well as the scholarly method of presenting and
acknowledging references.
Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of the words or ideas of others. It is tantamount
to academic theft, and is therefore a very serious offence. To plagiarise means to use
the words or ideas of another to create the false impression that these words and ideas
are your own. In order to avoid committing plagiarism, you must, at all times,
acknowledge the source from which you have borrowed certain words or ideas. If after
reading this warning about plagiarism you are still uncertain about how to avoid
committing plagiarism, you should speak to your lecturer about it before your
assignment is submitted. Students who submit assignments in which plagiarism can
be demonstrated will be referred to the Dean of the Faculty for disciplinary action.
