Course Description:
This course presents a comprehensive summary of methods for managing quality and continuous process improvements. The course objective is to develop an operational familiarity with contemporary methods found to be effective. This course is intended for those students who do not plan to specialize in quality management.
· Topics include: Statistical process control, quality function deployment, concurrent design, the house of quality, the Taguchi method, Six Sigma, lean and others. It also covers continuous process improvement methodologies and techniques.
Course Prerequisites:
· Basic knowledge of probability and statistics.
· Basic computer programming experience.
· General spreadsheet skills and familiarity with industrial engineering, operations research, and manufacturing systems
Course Objectives:
Successful completion of the course will provide:
1. Demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of the modern statistical methods for quality control and improvement.
2. An understanding of integrated and comprehensive models for TQM, Six Sigma, and TQS.
3. An understating of preventing, detecting, and analyzing the root cause of problems in manufacturing.
Course Topics:
· Introduction to basic concepts of quality improvement and quality control
· An overview of Total Quality Management (TQM)
· Six-Sigma Process and the DMAIC Roadmap
· Modeling process quality
· Just in Time (JIT) Manufacturing / Agile Manufacturing / Lean Manufacturing

· Homework assignments and programs are due within a week from the assignment date, unless the instructor notes otherwise.
· All homework assignments are to be typed.
· All programs are to include sufficient comments and documentation with a clear program statement.
· Extra credit quizzes, assignments, and programs (if any) will be announced by the instructor.
· It is the student's responsibility to familiarize himself or herself with and adhere to the standards set forth in the policies on cheating and plagiarism as defined in Chapters 2 and 5 of the Key to UB http://www.bridgeport.edu/pages/2623.asp or the appropriate graduate program handbook.
· As a UB policy, it is expected that each student that attends one hour of classroom instruction will require a minimum of two hours of out of class student work each week for approximately fifteen weeks for one semester.
Assignment Submission Guidelines
1. Computer-type your assignments (preferably MS-Word format).
2. Save your file with a proper filename format:
e.g: If the student name is Elif Kongar, student ID# 0123456, Homework Assignment 1; the filename should be:
TCMG524DL_Elif_Kongar_0123456_HW1.
3. Login to myub and click on the Canvas link under Library & Technology Resources. Use the first part of your UB email as username (for example: jbond, without the @bridgeport.edu) and follow the instructions to set up your password.
4. Sign in to your UB Canvas account and then into the course, e.g. “Statistical Quality Control Techniques” to submit your assignments.
