Statistical Techniques for Quality Control

(Theory)

 

CO 56: Develop a comprehensive understanding of Statistical Quality Control (SQC) and control charts for effective quality management and process control.

CO 57: Construct and analyze 3-σ Control charts and identify patterns on control charts for variables.

CO 58: Compare and contrast control charts for attributes with those for variables, examining their effectiveness in monitoring defects and defectives in production processes.

CO 59: Formulate Product Control Sampling Plans and analyze associated risks, OC curves and rectifying inspection plans.

CO 60:  Develop mathematical analyses for Double Sampling Plans, integrating Standard sampling tables to optimize sampling efficiency and ensure quality control in production processes.

CO 61: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction.
