Course Details

Objective

• Define basic quality management principles. 
• Discuss the relationship of the quality engineer to the quality system. 
• Analyze the relationship of statistics to a process. 
• Use process capability and statistical process control to monitor a process. 
• Generate acceptance sampling plans and identify and use technical quality tools.
• Incorporate quality technology in design, customer-supplier relationships, Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM), materials control, measurement, auditing, quality costs and document control within a quality system.
• Apply problem-solving tools and basic statistical concepts, process control and process capability plans, acceptance sampling, and attribute controls.

COURSE BENEFITS
This course will benefit the participants learn essential quality engineering concepts and tools to enhance your effectiveness as a quality engineer. In this course, participants will learn about quality systems, auditing, product and process control and design, quality methods and tools, applied statistics, SPC, and Design of Experiments (DOE). Participants will enhance their engineering expertise and their effectiveness as quality engineers with this comprehensive introduction to key quality engineering concepts and tools critical to success in the field of quality engineering today. While this course addresses many areas of the body of knowledge for the 'Certified Quality Engineer' examination, it is not designed as an exam refresher or a preparatory course for the exam.

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course. Very useful Course Materials will be given.
