DESCRIPTION
SDSM&T Catalog Description:
ENGM 720 Statistical Process Control Credits: 3 This course covers the application of statistical methods to problems in quality and process control. Statistical topics include: basics of processes and variability, statistically controlled processes, variable and attribute control charts, moving averages, and process capability. Prerequisite: MATH 281 or MATH 381 or permission of instructor.
Learning Objectives:
Students will demonstrate:
·	the ability to prepare and interpret Pareto, Cause & Effect, Scatter, Checksheet, Defect Concentration, and Histogram charts and diagrams.
·	a knowledge of the fundamentals of statistical process control – chance and assignable causes, the meaning of statistical control, average run length (ARL), operating characteristic (OC) curve, the principles of rational subgroup formation, and runs tests.
·	the ability to construct and interpret control charts for variables and attributes from standards or data.
·	the ability to construct and interpret control charts for individual measurements and short-run SPC from standards or data.
·	the ability to calculate and interpret process capability ratios (Cp, Cpk, Cpm) and gage repeatability and reproducibility.
·	an introductory knowledge of acceptance sampling principles and the ability to design, implement, and use acceptance sampling plans and military standards.
·	an introductory knowledge of the principles, calculations, and interpretation of designed experiments.
