Series of standards ISO 9000-2000, philosophy, certification. Basic statistical methods and tools joined with control of quality and reliability of a process. Ability of a process, backuping of a process. Definition and the use of a loss function. Special types of control charts. Audits. Statistical inspection.

Requirements:

A student has to obtain a credit before an examination. It is obligatory to attend the traning. A student has to write and present a short semestral thesis. A test will be written in 7th week.
