The course (which is compulsory for the Master of Science in Management Engineering) provides the skills to analyze in detail the important aspects of Quality Management Systems related to companies/services. Course objectives are: • Stimulating student awareness of the concepts of Quality of a product/service and competition-oriented design. Particular attention will be devoted to the general problem of measuring Quality. • Presenting a structured framework of the Italian Quality System and the accreditation and certification activities. • Describing the main techniques of Process Control and Acceptance Monitoring in the acquisition phase of semi-processed/raw-materials and during the introduction on the market of end-products/services. • Stimulating capabilities of design and verification of the entire supply chain, starting from the market demand analysis, up to the policies of outsourcing/insourcing of facilities and support structures. Real evidences of Quality practitioners and case studies will complement the course.

At the end of the course, students are expected to have acquired knowledge in the following fields: • Key techniques for design under the perspective of the Quality of a product/service (FMEA - Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, QFD - Quality Function Deployment, etc ...). • Methods and techniques for competitive analysis (Market Analysis, Benchmarking, etc ...). • Principles and methods of measurement and Quality control in manufacturing systems and service provision. • Understanding of fundamental concepts related to the current standards for Quality (ISO 9000 and 14000) both locally (for Quality Management System of an organization) and at national level (Italy Quality System and related activities accreditation and certification). • Plan and implementation of the main techniques of Statistical Process Control (Process Capability, Control Charts, etc ...) and Acceptance Control (Sampling Plan, Product Test, etc ...). • Methods of assessment, selection and monitoring of suppliers. Concerning the future application in the professional life of the acquired knowledge, at the end of the course, the student will have taken the methodological skills for independently designing, implementing and managing a Quality Management System for an organization providing products or services.

The central topics of the course will be illustrated through a number of complementary activities that will take place in the classroom and/or laboratory. Some of these include the drafting of a technical report (individually or by group work). These activities will cover: • analysis of case studies proposed by the instructor; • application of QFD and benchmarking techniques; • construction and use of control charts and sampling plans; • design and Quality control of a service.

... The course materials will be taught through a series of lectures, in which classroom participation is strongly encouraged. The exam will be based on a written test, of about two hours, containing: (i) exercises concerning SPC techniques; (ii) theoretical open questions concerning the totality of the topics covered. Exercises and theoretical questions will be "balanced" in order to ascertain the achievement of the learning outcomes, expected from the course. Students will use the material indicated by the professor – i.e., specific statistical tables and a free-formula sheet; lecture notes, books, manuals, laptops, tablets or smartphones will be strictly forbidden. During the course, students will also be involved in an optional teamwork project. In the case of positive evaluation, team members will gain 1 or 2 extra points. The maximum possible grade for the exam will be 30L, including the said extra points. Even though the standard exam is written, the professor reserves the right to perform a supplemental oral exam. On the other hand, requests for oral examination by students will not be accepted.
Gli studenti e le studentesse con disabilità o con Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento (DSA), oltre alla segnalazione tramite procedura informatizzata, sono invitati a comunicare anche direttamente al/la docente titolare dell'insegnamento, con un preavviso non inferiore ad una settimana dall'avvio della sessione d'esame, gli strumenti compensativi concordati con l'Unità Special Needs, al fine di permettere al/la docente la declinazione più idonea in riferimento alla specifica tipologia di esame.
Exam: Computer lab-based test; Group project;
The ONSITE exam will be organized in the form of a “quiz”, of about two hours, mainly consisting of problems involving calculations and (multiple-choice or open) theoretical questions. This quiz will preferably be carried out through an e-learning platform (Exam/Moodle) provided by PoliTO to professors and students. Exercises and theoretical questions will be "balanced" in order to ascertain the achievement of the learning outcomes, expected from the course. The professor will show several examples of past exams, so that students can prepare themselves adequately. Students will use the material indicated by the professor – i.e., specific statistical tables and a free-formula sheet; lecture notes, books, manuals, or smartphones will be strictly forbidden. During the course, students will also be involved in an optional teamwork project. This assignment is usually carried out in October and November, with delivery in the first half of December. In the case of positive evaluation, team members will gain 1 or 2 extra points. The maximum possible grade for the exam will be 30L, including the said extra points. Even though the standard exam is written through the e-learning Exam/Moodle platform, the professor reserves the right to (i) agree with students on alternative exam methods if necessary, or (ii) conduct a supplementary oral exam in case of doubts about the validity of a student's preparation. On the other hand, requests for oral examination by students will not be accepted.
In addition to the message sent by the online system, students with disabilities or Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) are invited to directly inform the professor in charge of the course about the special arrangements for the exam that have been agreed with the Special Needs Unit. The professor has to be informed at least one week before the beginning of the examination session in order to provide students with the most suitable arrangements for each specific type of exam.
