OPM 413 Measurement and Statistical Process Control

5 CR

Statistical process control (SPC) is a quality control technique which employs statistical methods to monitor and control a process to ensure that it operates at its full potential, and that the finished products meet specified criteria. In this course, students will be introduced to key tools used in SPC including control charts, continuous improvement, acceptance sampling, and the design of experiments. Students will also be taught about fundamental metrology principles including error measurement and analysis, the impact of temperature and pressure on precision measurement; equipment calibration; and advanced test and measurement techniques.
Prerequisite(s): OPM 311 with a C or higher.
