Aim:
The course provides a comprehensive coverage of statistical approaches and methods for industrial quality management. After the completed course, the student shall be able to;
  • demonstrate deep knowledge about statistical methods for quality technology and management, and in a systematic way select methods to solve advanced quality related problems within industry and service production
  • discuss the occurrence and consequences of variation in industrial processes and from a systems perspective identify situations where statistical methods can contribute to improvement of products and processes
  • plan and conduct industrial improvement projects based on advanced statistical methods for quality improvement
  • on an advanced level discuss principles for collection and analysis of process information for development of processes and products
  • analyse and identify improvement needs for measurement systems in industrial organisations
  • explain and discuss how procedures for statistical quality control can be implemented and contribute to development in industrial organisations


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
