Course Description

This course provides an introduction to statistical quality control methods that can be applied to meet the demand for ever increasing levels of product and service quality. Basic methods and tools for analyzing, controlling and improving product & service quality are covered. Probabilistic and statistical techniques are applied to modeling and analysis of variability associated with product production and service processes. Topics include analysis of product design tolerances, six sigma techniques, statistical analysis of process capability, statistical process control using control charts, quality improvement and acceptance sampling.

14

Course Objectives

To provide students with statistical quality control concepts, methods and techniques that have immediate application (1) on the job for analyzing, controlling and improving quality of products, processes and services and (2) in other engineering courses to ensure that quality is a factor in product and service engineering and design. Emphasis is placed on application of methods and techniques through problem definition and solution & interpretation of results.

Operating Mode

• Lecture material will be posted on my website in accordance with the Course Outline. Check frequently to be aware of any announcements or updates.

• Download & print charts prior to class for your use during class (see Power Point/Printing help on my website if needed)

• Homework Problems (for credit) will be posted on my website under Assignments

• My solutions to homework problems and exams will be provided via email after receipt of your assignment

19

Operating Mode

Lectures• I will use charts (hard copy) printed from the

website for basic material, but may mark up in class to illustrate concepts or to make a point

• You should note any key points, etc, on the charts you printed from the website

• Inform me of any errors, or suspected errors

20

Homework

• Homework problems (for credit) will be posted on website

• Submit your solutions via email (preferred) utilizing submission guidelines

• My solutions will be emailed to you within 24 hours, as a goal, of receipt of your submittal

• Your grades posted within 1 week of receipt• Assignments are to be: - turned in within one week after receiving

the assignment (at the beginning of the class for on-campus students)- emailed within one week after viewing the assignment tape, by off-campus students- if you plan on being late on a homework,

coordinate with professor beforehand• Retain a copy of everything you submit

21

Grades• Grades will be posted on the website, under the last

four digits of your SMU student ID # or a codename that you email to the TA.

• Individual assignments will receive a grade from 0 to 5 in 0.5 increments.

• Assignments will receive a 5 if and only if the answer is correct and the method for obtaining the answer is correct.

• If a student misinterprets a problem, but solves it correctly according to his misinterpretation, the assignment may receive a 5 if it covers the topics required.

22

Grades• A maximum of 4.5 can be obtained if the solution is

wrong, but method is correct.• If one part of the problem is marked down,

subsequent part that rely on this original part will not be marked down because of this error, but may be marked down for other reasons.

• Assignments showing no method but only the correct answer will not receive more than a 2.5.

• Assignments receiving full credit will not be returned

23

Scheduled Dates

• Applicable for on-campus students only • Corresponding dates for distance students are on-

campus dates + tape delivery time

24

Assignments - Submission Guidelines

• Email is the preferred delivery method - if you send an assignment via email, indicate Course & Assignment Number in the ‘Subject’ line, so that you get solutions quickly, via email

For Example -

From: Joe StudentTo: Evan AndersonAttachment: Homework4.docSubject: EMIS 7370 - Homework 4

25

Assignments - Submission Guidelines, continued

• MS Word, Excel and Power Point are the preferred file type for attachments. The equation editor is worth your time to learn. You can easily insert scanned images into these documents.

• Avoid scanning your work and sending it as a large image. This is an inefficient use of the internet. Make images 72 dpi, and use color only if necessary.

• Use color only if necessary, and do not use shading.• Do not send zipped files, or other files which have

been compressed. It is easier to optimize the file.• These files may be printed, so please do not make

the print area larger than 8.5” X 11”.

26

Exams

• Exams are to be taken as scheduled

- any exceptions must have prior approval

• Exams will be open book and notes

• Scientific calculator is required, but not a PC.

• Final exams will not be returned, nor will my solutions be provided.

27

Exams - Instructions

• Mid Term and Final Exams may be part in-class(proctored) plus part take home

• Exams should not be taken until the tape for the previous lecture has been viewed

• Exams should not be taken until solutions have beenreceived for all homework submitted

• Open book and notes• Calculator Required • Clearly box your answers• Independent work• Staple, do not fold• Write your name on each page

28

Student Directory - Assignment #1- email to T.A.

• Purpose - to promote the sharing of ideas and techniques for problem solving among students- to promote technology and information interchange

• To be listed, provide your:nameemail addressorganization namegeographic location

• If, for any reason, you do not wish to be listed, state your desire via email to the TA

29

Student Profile - Assignment #2 - email to Dr. Stracener Only

Provide the following info (for my use only). Within one week, in an easy to read bulleted format, using phrases.

• Name• Photo - optional • Employer• Brief job description• Mailing address• Phone and fax numbers• Career objectives (near term, and long term)• Major• Degrees: Types, institutions and dates

The 4+1 Master’s Degree Program

The 4+1 Program permits the SMU Engineering student to study towards B.S. and M.S degrees simultaneously and possibly with fewer courses than if taken separately. Up to nine (9) SCH of graduate course work can be applied towards the undergraduate degree requirements. In such cases, students may fulfill both bachelors and masters degree requirements in as few as 21 SCH beyond the B.S. coursework.

31

Roadmap to Multiple Masters Degrees with Fewer Total Courses

SMU’s School of Engineering permits its graduate students to take advantage of degree-requirement overlaps to acquire a second Masters degree by taking as few as six courses (18 semester credit hours). This is available for prospective and current graduate students, as well as alumni who have already received a MS from SMU.
