Contenuti del corso

Il corso introduce i principi della gestione e dell'ingegneria della qualità implementati nel settore dell'industria e dei servizi al fine di mantenere i Sistemi di Gestione della Qualità. Vengono inoltre descritti i principali strumenti statistici per il monitoraggio e l'analisi dei dati e per realizzare il miglioramento continuo.

Durante il corso viene presentato il software Minitab® per l'implementazione delle tecniche statistiche del controllo di qualità.
