ENHANCING GRADUATE EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS: APPLICATION OF STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE IN INDUSTRIES

Abstract

Despite maintaining high standards in product quality during the production process, continuous run of machines and vibrations may send out defects that can result in poor quality output. The continuous monitoring and detection of the causes of error are required to bring the process back to acceptable quality levels. The implementation of statistical techniques such as quality control and design of experiments are needful for the industries to make an effective control process during production. The present study has carried out a survey to elicit the opinions of the executive engineers in the industries in regard to quality cognizance for producing quality products and the use of statistical techniques for achieving the target quality.  The study findings recommend to an industry perspective in statistical techniques in the course curriculum and enhance the employability skills in the students of higher educational institutions (HEI).
