SHS3 Manufacturing Engineering · Semester 2 Week 19: Safety, Quality and the Environment

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 3.3.3.LI.3 - Analyse and utilise quality control data to make decisions.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify and describe the common tools used for analysing quality control data, including charts, measures of central tendency, and linear relationships.
Calculate and interpret mean, median, and mode from a given set of quality control data.
Construct and interpret a simple control chart from quality control data to determine whether a manufacturing process is in control.
Analyse a given quality control dataset and recommend corrective actions or process adjustments based on the patterns observed.
Justify a decision made from quality control data using evidence from calculations and visual representations.
