Course description
Technical quality as basic engineering discipline;
Quality concept and accompany fields (standardization, certification, etc.);
Quality system management;
Total quality management (TQM) (techniques for solving problems and quality circle);
Procedures and basic tools for quality assurance (control charts, Quality Function Deployment QFD, Failure mode and effect analysis – FMEA, statistical process control – SPC, optimal experiment planning, etc.);
Quality and standardization (production, laboratory, service, environment, safety, health care, etc.);
Education, motivation and continuous training;
System reliability and maintenance;
Course is carried out on study programme
2nd Cycle Postgraduate Study Programme in Electrical Engineering
Objectives and competences
Aim of the course is to get acquainted with concrete knowledge on technical quality of product and services assurance and achievement on the basis of measurement and testing, processes supervision, tools for total quality management. Student is trained for solving problems with different modern principles and tools for total quality assurance. Candidate become aware of reliability elements and basics of system maintenance. Basic specifics, requirements and solutions for technical quality are presented on practical examples and problems. The final objective of the subject is to be directly involved in the real environment in the field of quality.
Learning and teaching methods
Lectures, exercises, seminar work, excursion
