Covers statistical process control, inspection techniques, and quality assurance standards for industrial manufacturing.
Course overview
This course introduces the core principles of quality control in industrial manufacturing. You will learn how to use statistical process control to keep production on track and identify issues before they become defects. The curriculum covers modern inspection techniques, the use of precision measuring tools, and the quality assurance standards that govern the manufacturing sector.
You will work through real-world scenarios where maintaining quality is critical. This includes interpreting complex engineering drawings, applying geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and using statistical methods to analyze production data. The goal is to prepare you to maintain high standards in a professional manufacturing environment.
