An Introduction to Quality Engineering

• Typical roles and responsibilities of a quality engineer
• Fundamentals of part and process measurement
• Fundamental of calibration and gage error assessment
• The Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Process control plans
• The major strategies and ideas of root cause analysis and process improvement
• Overviews of the Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma improvement frameworks
• Thoughts on training, management and leadership

Quality has often been described as “fitness for use” and “conformance to customer requirements.” And traditionally, this conformance has been verified through rigorous part inspection and testing. But the practice of quality professionals in assuring this "fitness for use" has evolved extensively since the middle of the 20th century through the increasing demands of high-risk industries like aerospace and automotive, and through the benefits of technological advancements like the microprocessor and connected technologies.

Today, Quality Engineers fulfill key technical leadership roles in most manufacturing organizations. An effective Quality Engineer possesses a wide range of skills from part and process measurement methods, to data analysis and visualization, to risk analysis and quality planning. And because of this broad skill base and interaction with diverse areas of a company, Quality Engineers are often well-positioned to fulfill higher level management roles.
