ATQT 1050 - Quality Standards & Core Tools

Credit Hours: 2.00

Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1. Identify the appropriate standard for each circumstance or business.
2. Identify the organization issuing the standard or guideline.
3. Implement and/or apply the standard or guideline
4. Explain the requirements, tools, skills, and metrics to document compliance to the standard or guideline.

Outcome 2: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to apply the requirements of the standards to a manufacturing related situation.

Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1. Perform Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) activities.

3. Perform a PFMEA.
4. Complete a Process Flow Diagram.
5. Complete a Control Plan.

Outcome 3: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to perform the requirement of and document compliance to the standards.

Objectives:

1. Apply the required and appropriate statistical process controls to a manufacturing situation.
2. Recognize, define, and quantify measurement system variation.
3. Perform a capability analysis and recognize if a process is statistically capable.

Outcome 4: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to describe the requirements of the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP).

Objectives:

1. Compile the required components of a PPAP package.
2. Construct a “balloon” part drawing.
3. Compile a Dimensional Inspection Report.

Outcome 5: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to explain the relationship between the different requirements and how they relate to the Internal Auditing process.

Objectives:

1. Describe compliance to the Core Tools relating to “audit trail” during an internal audit.
2. Audit for compliance to the standards and to the Core Tool requirements.
