Course Description

The following contents will be learned.
(1)Concept of system selection, parameter design, and tolerance design in quality engineering.
(2)SN ratio and Kando (sensitivity) in Quality Engineering.
(3)Design of experiments.
(4)Orthogonal array and Analysis of Variance.
(5)Case study in automobiles.
In this lesson, knowledge, techniques, and attitudes regarding DP 2, DP 3, DP 4, and DP 5 will be acquired.
Lessons are primarily lecture-style, but pair work will be carried out as appropriate according to the contents of the each lesson.

Course Objectives

Students can apply the function and robust design, and the SN ratio and Kando (sensitivity) used in quality engineering. And these factors' effect diagrams and variance analysis tables to specific cases in automobiles and the like.

Grading Policy

Your grade in the class will be decided on the evaluate with 100% of the result of the final exam. An explanation will be given after the end of the final exam.
