IS4012 Quality Engineering in Production Systems Syllabus:

IS4012 Quality Engineering in Production Systems Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVES:

 To know the quality engineering concepts in product design and development processes.
 To know the control and process parameters’ characteristics with feedback system.
 To know the methods for production and diagnosis process improvements.
 To have knowledge on ISO quality systems and types of quality tools such as failure and effect analysis.
 To understand the six-sigma concepts and its implementation in engineering industries.

UNIT I INTRODUCTION TO QUALITY ENGINEERING AND LOSS FUNCTION

Quality value and engineering- overall quality system-quality engineering in product design – quality engineering in design of production processes – quality engineering in production – quality engineering in service. Loss function Derivation – use-loss function for products/system- justification of improvements-loss function and inspection- quality evaluations and tolerances-N type, S type, L type.

UNIT II ON-LINE QUALITY CONTROL

On-line feedback quality control variable characteristics-control with measurement interval- one unit, multiple units-control systems for lot and batch production. On-line process parameter control variable characteristics- process parameter tolerances- feedback control systems-measurement error and process control parameters.

UNIT III ON-LINE QUALITY CONTROL ATTRIBUTES AND METHODS FOR PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS

Checking intervals- frequency of process diagnosis. Production process improvement method process diagnosis improvement method- process adjustment and recovery improvement methods.

UNIT IV QUALITY ENGINEERING AND TPM

Preventive maintenance schedules- PM schedules for functional characteristics- PM schedules for large scale systems. Quality tools–fault tree analysis, event tree analysis, failure mode and effect analysis. ISO quality systems.

UNIT V SIX SIGMA AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION

Introduction- definition-methodology- impact of implementation of six sigma-DMAIC method-roles and responsibilities –leaders, champion, black belt, green belts. Do’s and dont’s – readiness of organization – planning-management role- six sigma tools – sustaining six sigma.
