1. Abstract:

Quality Engineering is the course offered by Mechanical Engineering as the interdisciplinary course

which is required for any professional person. It provides the detailed concept and principle of the

overall development of the quality in all concern. The course covers the fundamental, yet

comprehensive principles and practices as well as the tools and techniques for quality engineering and

the overall improvement of the quality of product and service. It comprises mainly of two parts: the part

I covers the principle and practices of quality engineering which includes the concept of leadership,

customer satisfaction, employee involvement, continuous process improvement and performance

measures. The part II includes the various tools and techniques of quality engineering. In this part, the

main discussions are emphasized on the statistical process control, quality system, benchmarking,

quality function deployment, quality by design, experimental design, Taguchi’s quality engineering,

product liability, failure mode and effect analysis, total productive maintenance, ISO 14000 and

management tools.

2. Objective:

The course tries to fulfil the following objectives-

i) To clarify the concept and principle of quality both in product and services.

ii) To implement the tools and techniques of quality engineering in practise in all concern.

iii) The proper utilisation of the principle, tools, and techniques of quality engineering can

help in the development of both the organisation as well as the society.

3. Prerequisite of the course:

Knowledge of Industrial System Engineering (ME 401) and basic statistics is essential for this course.
