Quality Control (SPC)

This course provides fundamental coverage of quality control concepts by taking a practical approach. Students are presented with a sufficient amount of theory to ensure a sound understanding of basic principles through the use of simple mathematics, tables and charts. Emphasis is placed on coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and statistical process control with applications to design and manufacturing. Topics include total quality management, measurement and inspection, fundamentals of statistics, control charts, acceptance sampling, reliability and quality planning. CMM specific exercises involve calibrating, operating and programming a Mitutoyo machine.
