Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be made familiar with the methods of mathematical statistics, to evaluate and control the production process with methods of statistical process control and process capability index, to evaluate the characterics of acceptance sampling and inventory management.

Prerequisites

Fundamentals of probability theory and mathematical statistics.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

COURSE-UNIT CREDIT: The course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions:
- participation in seminars,
- submitting calculation projects solved on computer.

EXAM: The exam has a written form.
In the first part of the exam student solves 3-4 examples within 70-80 minutes. (It is allowed to use recomended literature.)
In the second part of the exam student works out answers to 3 theoretical questions within 15 minutes.
The mark, which corresponds to the total sum of points (max 100)
- achieved in control tests,
- achieved by theoretical questions and calculation projects on computer,
- achieved by solving examples,
- achieved by answerimg theoretical questions.
Student obtains the assessment after having a short talk with the tutor where his/her work is evaluated.
The grades and corresponding points:
A (100-90), B (89-80), C (79-70), D (69-60), E (59-50), F (49-0).

Course curriculum

Topics of lectures are the following:
- Discrete Random Variables
- Continuous Random Variables
- Data samples
- Testing statistical hypothesis
- Statistical Process Control
- Process Capability Index
- Acceptance Sampling
- Inventory Management

The topics of exercises correspond to the topics delt with the lectures.

Not applicable.

Aims

The objective of the course is to learn students to work with the random variables, to work with statistical data sets, to use methods of statistical process control, process capability indices, acceptance sampling and inventory management.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at lectures is not compulsory but is recommended. Attendance at exercises is required and checked by the tutor. An excused absence of a student from seminars can be compensated for by submitting solution of alternate exercises.

Recommended optional programme components
