Course Objective

The aim of this course is to introduce students to statistical quality control techniques that can be applied in both manufacturing and service sectors and to perform applications on topics such as statistical process control, control charts, process capability analysis, analysis of measurement systems, design of experiments and acceptance sampling with the help of MINITAB statistical package program. In addition, in the scope of the course, it is aimed to transfer quality improvement/development techniques and approaches such as 6-Sigma, quality circles, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) in line with the total quality management philosophy.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To have knowledge about statistical quality control and total quality management
2   Statistical Process Control - Use, application and interpretation of Control Charts
3   Application and interpretation of full factorial and Taguchi experimental designs
4   Use, implementation and interpretation of acceptance sampling plans
5   To have knowledge about process improvement and increasing process efficiency
6   To have knowledge about 6-Sigma, FMEA analysis, Quality House, Quality Circles applications
