M00003629 Engineering Quality Management

Assessment:

Part A

Students are required to carry out capability study on one dimension of a mechanical bracket provided attached in the table using two control charts i.e., Shewart and CUSUM. The requirement is 11 ± 0.1 mm.

Calculate the average of each batch and use that as the basis for your X-T calculations (T=11 mm) for CUSUM chart.

Your control charts should comprise 10 points. Also note that out of the 10 batches, 5 were made on one day and the remaining 5 were made on a different day.

Students must submit an individual report that should contain the following:

(i) Shewart and CUSUM control charts

(ii) Suitability and discussion of control chart findings

(iii) Assessment of process capability and its significance

PART B

Discuss how capability studies fit into quality management systems and quality assurance with due reference to quality theories and relevant standards. Discussion must include the significance of the purchase order and capability studies of the existing machines for the manufacture of a product of your choice. It is important to clearly define a product and explain the usage of capability studies to increase production.

Intended learning outcomes for the assessment

This summative assignment will provide students the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience on:
• Recording measurements in a reliable manner.
• Constructing different control charts and analysing them.
• Carry out capability studies based on control chart findings.
• Understanding the importance of a purchase order for the manufacture of a particular product.
• Comprehend the significance of quality standards and theories to make sound decisions in real world scenarios.
