The course will provide a holistic view of the quality field with particular focus on principles, practices and techniques for quality management. After the completed course, the student shall be able to:
- collect, assess and analyse process information in order to systematically identify and solve quality related problems.
- plan and conduct quality improvement projects concerning statistical quality control, product development and process improvement.
- apply fundamental principles, practices and techniques for quality management, and use a systems perspective to identify situations where these can contribute to industrial development through improvement of products, processes and the flow of materials and information.
- critically assess and discuss forms of organising for quality improvement and describe principles for how quality management can be implemented in industrial organisations, such as the biotechnical, chemical engineering and pharmaceutical industry.
- evaluate and develop policies, goals and procedures for quality management and describe the structure of a quality management system.
