Quality and Statistical Methods

UMTRI researchers develop statistical analysis methods for evaluating product and process quality with an emphasis on part approval metrics and processes, tolerance analysis, design of experiments, and multivariate methods. We also provide training in numerous quality engineering fields including Six Sigma, measurement system analysis, GD&T, design of experiments, reliability, robust engineering, and statistical process control.
