Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course provides some practical quality management understanding and demonstration of tools. Different forms of inspection and process control are discussed, as well as statistical process control, control charts and supplier certification. The course helps the students understand the cost of poort quality and the means to improve and maintain quality. Students are aware and capable of using quality standards. The students also know the principles of dimensional metrology, measurement systems analysis, and are familiar with modern measuring equipment.
