MF7011 QUALITY AND RELIABILITY ENGINEERING L T P C 3 0 0 3

AIM:
To expose the students to the various quality control techniques and also to understand the
importance and concept of reliability and maintainability in industries.
OBJECTIVES:
To make the students to understand the various quality control techniques and to construct the
various quality control charts for variables and attributes and also the design concepts for reliable
system and maintenance aspects in industries.
UNIT I QUALITY & STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL 8
Quality – Definition – Quality Assurance – Variation in process – Factors – process capability – control
charts – variables X, R and X, - Attributes P, C and U-Chart tolerance design. Establishing and
interpreting control charts – charts for variables – Quality rating – Short run SPC.
UNIT II ACCEPTANCE SAMPLING 8
Lot by lot sampling – types – probability of acceptance in single, double, multiple sampling plans – OC
curves – Producer’s risk and consumer’s risk. AQL, LTPD, AOQL, Concepts – standard sampling
plans for AQL and LTPD – use of standard sampling plans.
UNIT III EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND TAGUCHI METHOD 9
Fundamentals – factorial experiments – random design, Latin square design – Taguchi method –
Loss function – experiments – S/N ratio and performance measure – Orthogonal array.
UNIT IV CONCEPT OF RELIABILITY 9
Definition – reliability vs quality, reliability function – MTBF, MTTR, availability, bathtub curve – time
dependent failure models – distributions – normal, weibull, lognormal – Reliability of system and
models – serial, parallel and combined configuration – Markove analysis, load sharing systems,
standby systems, covarient models, static models, dynamic models.
UNIT V DESIGN FOR RELIABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITY 11
Reliability design process, system effectiveness, economic analysis and life cycle cost, reliability
allocation, design methods, parts and material selection, derating, stress-strength and analysis, failure
analysis, identification determination of causes, assessments of effects, computation of criticality
index, corrective action, system safety – analysis of down-time – the repair time distribution,
stochastic point processes system repair time, reliability under preventive maintenance state
dependent system with repair. MTTR – mean system down time, repair vs replacement, replacement
models, proactive, preventive, predictive maintenance maintainability and availability, optimization
techniques for system reliability with redundancy heuristic methods applied to optimal system
reliability.
