ADM-200 Foundations in Advanced Manufacturing - Quality
This course is designed to serve those interested in entering the workforce for advanced manufacturing, incumbent workers of local companies, secondary HS seniors for technical skills development and apprentices in the local area that are required to gain related instruction for their DOL Occupation. The content of this course prepares students to safely step into a production-based workplace and enter into additional coursework for advanced manufacturing. The content includes: participating in periodic internal quality audit activities, checking calibration of gauges and other data collection equipment, suggesting continuous improvements, inspecting materials and product/process at all stages to ensure they meet specifications, documenting the results of quality tests, communicating quality problems, taking corrective actions to restore or maintain quality, recording process outcomes and trends, identifying fundamentals of blueprint reading, and using common measurement systems and precision measurement tools.
Course Learning Outcomes
- Practice interpretation of multi-view drawings, assembly drawings and fasteners, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing as they apply to part shapes, part hole sizes and locations, part features, part dimensions, and part section features.
- Perform measurements using tools (e.g. tape measure, ruler, dial/digital calipers, micrometer) to develop skills necessary for quality part inspection.
- Interpret the types, applications and concepts relating to statistical process control, control charts, X bar and R charts, and histograms.
- Perform continuous improvement methods (e.g. apply root cause failure analysis, construct/analyze Pareto charts, use brainstorming and fishbone diagram to solve production problems and apply corrective and preventative actions).
- Describe Lean Six Sigma aspects of production quality systems (e.g. types of quality management systems, ISO 9000 standards, cycles, concepts, audits and inspections).
