You will learn to apply principles that are used to assure the effectiveness, efficiency and quality of manufacturing inputs, activities and outputs. This includes comparing frameworks and standards such Lean, Six Sigma, ISO9000, Total Quality Management and Continuous Improvement, and examining the use of selected tools and methods in more detail. The general purpose of these management approaches is to provide value to the customer through provision of products and services that are delivered according to customer requirements, including expectations of performance, fitness for purpose, responsible and ethical business conduct and commercial cost/benefit. You will therefore learn to apply quality management approaches to the development of a product specification in accordance with customer requirements. To do this, you will examine the role of quality management in an industry context and engage in requirements gathering with real or role-played customer in a workshop setting. The knowledge learned within this subject will link to the outputs from the three proceeding project units and the ongoing team project to propose, design and fabricate a product. In this subject, you will finalise the project, consider its success, and reflect upon the process as a whole.
