Offered FL WI SM
3 credit hrs/3 contact hrs
MFG 02 is the MSSC‐M2 Quality and Continuous Improvement Core and is the second of the four knowledge cores required by the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) to be certified as a Certified Production Technician. The need for quality in manufacturing has resulted in a number of different theories and techniques. However, some of the central concepts shared by all of them include: 1) quality is everyone’s job; 2) a focus on prevention; 3) monitoring quality throughout the complete process; and 4) the identification of the quality problems and the investigation of their root cause. The modules in this core provide the knowledge and skills to enable the learner to become a solid contributor to improved quality in manufacturing. Included in this knowledge and these skills is the ability to: read blueprints, develop a working knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, develop an understanding of precision measurement, dimensional gauging, and the use of precision measuring tools, develop a fundamental understanding of quality systems such as ISO 9000, TQM, Six‐Sigma, develop an understanding of SPC including constructing and analyzing histograms, calculating Cpk, constructing X‐bar and R control charts, develop an understanding to apply the principles of continuous improvement including PDCA, pareto charts, and cause and effect diagrams. This core consists of 10 modules which require approximately 35 hours to complete. At the conclusion of this core, the learner will take the certification exam for this core.
