- Apply a step-by-step procedure for planning for quality.
- Plan inspection in terms of characteristics, amount of inspection, methods, personnel, locations, decisions, errors and documentation.
- Review control plan examples from industry and understand the information contained in them.
- Understand the basic purpose and procedures for a gage variation study.
- Perform calculations for gage repeatability and reproducibility.
- Explain gage analysis concepts including repeatability, reproducibility, stability, capability, accuracy, deflection, shifts, drifts, and intervals.
- Explain the forces driving the development of advanced technology in the quality industry and the challenges that are present.
