ITMF 1550 - Root Cause Analysis and Problem Solving

3 credit(s)

A study of root cause analysis and problem solving. The seven quality tools will be explored in depth, as the course will introduce the student to statistical approaches to root cause analysis and problem solving. Students will learn and apply statistical tools to separate the vital few process variables from the trivial many that exist in any process. Proper experimentation techniques will be discussed, including an introduction to Design of Experiments. Prerequisite(s): ITMF 1430/1431 and ITMF 1520 As required
