The course aims to provide a broad knowledge in the various stages and activities included in a company's work on issues related to quality and reliability engineeringLearning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Describe and explain the central quality conceptions and discuss the development in an historical perspective
- Describe quality concepts, such as total quality management (TQM) and six sigma Describe maintenance and dependability concepts, such as total productive maintenance (TPM) and reliability centered maintenance (RCM)
- Have knowledge of management systems and standards within the field of quality and reliability
- Describe the concept of reliability and its constituent parameters Select and apply a number of quality tools on problem solving. 7 QC, 7 QM, FMEA, QFD and FTA are examples of such tools. Assess the equipment efficiency of a production system
- Analyse the failure frequency for a product/ production system and draw conclusions in terms of; availability performance, appropriate maintenance activities and need for spare parts
- Assess financial consequences due to equipment down time
Content
The course is intended to provide students with teoretical and practical understanding in the area of quality and reliability. Both concepts as Total Quality Management and Total Productive Maintenance and more practical oriented methods as QFD, FMEA, FTA is introduced. The course covers aspects related to quality and reliability of any product, ranging from product planning, development, design and production.Organisation
The course is based on a combination of lectures, exercises and literature seminar.Literature
