    Essential Skills for Engineers: Quality Systems, Data & Project Management

    Course Objective:

    Upon completion of this course, learners will be able to:
    • Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of QMS principles and the practical application of ISO 9001 standards in implementing a basic QMS.
    • Proficiently apply SPC, data analysis, and RCA techniques to monitor, improve, and troubleshoot manufacturing processes.
    • Effectively plan, execute, and manage manufacturing projects using appropriate methodologies, risk management strategies, and communication techniques.

    Course Outline:

    Module 1: Introduction to Quality Management Systems (QMS)
     
    • Core Principles of QMS: This section introduces the fundamental concepts of Quality Management Systems, emphasizing customer focus, process approach, continual improvement, and the importance of a robust QMS framework.
    • Key QMS Standards: This section provides a brief overview of widely recognized QMS standards, primarily focusing on ISO 9001.
    • Implementing a Basic QMS: This section will cover the practical steps involved in implementing a basic QMS. This includes developing a quality manual, defining processes, establishing procedures, and assigning responsibilities.
    Module 2: Essential Quality Tools and Techniques
     
    • Statistical Process Control (SPC): Introduces the basic principles of SPC, including the use of control charts (X-bar and R charts, p-charts, c-charts) to monitor and control processes.
    • Data Analysis for Quality Improvement: Fundamental data analysis techniques relevant to quality improvement, such as histograms, Pareto charts, and scatter diagrams.
    • Problem-solving: Utilize Root Cause Analysis (RCA)/Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)/ 8 Disciplines (8D) techniques to troubleshoot manufacturing processes effectively.
    Module 3: Fundamentals of Project Management (18 hours)
    • Project Management Methodologies: Introduction to project management methodologies such as Agile and Waterfall. Discussion of their applications in manufacturing projects.
    • Project Planning and Scheduling: Creating project plans, developing schedules, and managing resources effectively.
    • Risk Management: Identifying, assessing, and mitigating project risks.
    • Project Communication and Reporting: Effective communication techniques, progress reporting, and stakeholder management.

    For Whom:

    Suitable for process engineers, project engineers, quality engineers, entry-level engineers, engineers transiting into quality roles and individuals seeking to enhance their professional development.

    Entry Requirements:

    Learners are assumed to:
    • Basic understanding of engineering principles: Familiarity with fundamental engineering concepts, such as design, manufacturing, and materials science.
    • Familiarity with Microsoft Office Suite (Excel skills are particularly beneficial).
    • Be able to listen, read and write English at a proficiency level equivalent Workplace Literacy (WPL) Level 7 High Advanced (' A' Levels) and above; and
    • Be able to manipulate numbers at a proficiency level equivalent to Workplace Numeracy (WPN) Level 7 High Advanced (' A' Levels) and above.
