Course description and aims

This course focuses on the essence, principles and practices of quality management. Emphasis will be placed on both theory and implementation of quality management. Topics cover statistical quality control, total quality management, seven QC tools, multivariate analysis, design of experiments, quality engineering and reliability management. For the multivariate analysis, students will work in preparing at least one "deep" case analysis by deriving and checking own hypotheses as well as making a presentation. And as for the design of experiments, students are required to form teams to conduct several experiments and data analyses.
This course is aimed at learning fundamental knowledges and skills to achieve efficient and effective quality management.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
(1) Understand the basic concepts of quality management, multivariate analysis, design of experiments, quality engineering and reliability engineering.
(2) Utilize SQC methodology and tools in the engineering or quality problem-solving process.
(3) Derive and check the hypotheses by multivariate analysis.
(4) Compute and interpret the results of multivariate analysis.
(5) Design the efficient experiments and a way of data collection and analyses.
