Introduction
Course overview
Automotive suppliers must use a set of core quality tools to plan, validate and control products and processes. These tools are also widely adopted in other engineering industries.
This Aractech course explains advanced product quality planning, production part approval, failure mode and effects analysis, measurement system analysis and statistical process control, and how they connect across the product life cycle. Participants apply the tools to a case product.
The course is a practical introduction and does not provide formal certification.
