2. LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes

The purpose of the course is to introduce the basic concepts and techniques of the theory of probabilities, statistics and metric systems. Specialized techniques of statistical quality control and sampling are analyzed. Advanced techniques for managing quality in the design, development and production of a product, such as statistical process control, design of experiments, and Taguchis methods are described. Statistical Process Control. Design and Analysis of Experiments. Continuous Improvement Processes and Techniques Quality.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
• use advanced statistical tools and methods for its management quality
• apply statistical techniques in the planning stages of development and production of a product.
• apply for in-line and out-of-line quality control and improvement
• use statistical programs on a limited scale

General Competences

Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information, using the necessary technologies.
Promotion of free, creative and inductive thinking.
Autonomous Work.
Teamwork.
