COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course begins with basic concept of quality, evolution of quality with respect to various
dimensions of quality, quality Gurus and their theories. The quality management principles, key
statistical distribution and other statistical tools related with statistical process control (SPC) are
introduced. Quality assurance, reliability, total quality management (TQM), ISO 9000: 2015 and
quality management system (QMS) are discussed. The role of qu ality management principles and
other processes of TQM in manufacturing industry is covered. Some basic quality tools, and their
applications to control the variation s from manufacturing point of view is discussed. Emphasis is
placed on the use of control charts for variables and attributes along with six sigma concept.
Type 1, Types 11 errors and key process capability indices along with operating characteristic
curve for the control of variation are covered in detail. Importance of acceptance sampling and
various sampling strategies using military standards along-with their operating characteristic
