9 Objectives 1. To impart to student’s knowledge of measurement of product
dimensional features
2. To update the students, the knowledge of statistical process control
and its application in industry
3. To prepare the students with knowledge necessary to design
acceptance control procedure
4. To complete the requirement of body of knowledge required for
Mechanical Engineers
10 Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, students should be able to:
1. Design a procedure to measure product dimensional features.
2. Design X-bar, R, p and, np charts.
3. Select and evaluate SSP and DSP for incoming materials.
4. Apply computer tools to aid-in decision making in process control.
11 Transferable Skills:
 Develop skills to identifying and classifying out-of-control process
Skills and how they
 Develop skills to select appropriate acceptance sampling plan
are developed and
 Develop skills to designing mechanisms to measure product
