Course description and aims

This course covers statistical methods used in quality management, such as statistical quality control, multiple regression, analysis of variance, nonparametric method, design of experiments, 7 QC tools, and reliability management. Students perform data analysis using R for learning multiple regression. Students are required to work on group works for learning quality management, design of experiments, and analysis of variance.

Student learning outcomes

Students will be able to:
(1) Understand statistical methods used in quality management and the basic concepts of quality management. (2) Derive the hypotheses.
(2) Perform data analysis using linear models and interpret the results.
(3) Design the efficient experiments, collect data, and perform data analysis.

Keywords

Statistical Quality Control, Analysis of Variance, Multiple Regression, Nonparametric Method, Multivariate Analysis, Design of Experiments, Reliability Engineering

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills
