Course Details

This Hybrid Course on Inspection & Quality Control is meticulously designed to equip students and practicing engineers with industry-relevant skills essential for the Quality Assurance (QA) functions in automotive and mass-production industries. The course blends 30 hours of online learning with 10 hours of practical hands-on sessions at the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Development Centre (AMTDC), IITM Research Park, Chennai – 600113, providing real-world exposure to inspection and quality control processes.

It offers in-depth coverage of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T), engineering drawing interpretation, 7 QC tools, and industrial gauge design using live manufacturing examples. Learners develop both theoretical knowledge and applied competence aligned with modern manufacturing standards.

Course Modules

Module 1 – GD&T Fundamentals: Introduction, rules, and application of GD&T; form tolerances – flatness, straightness, circularity, and cylindricity; snap-gauge design for 8 mm shaft OD.
Module 2 – Orientation & Location Tolerances: Orientation, profile, position, run-out, concentricity, and symmetry tolerances with practical applications.
Module 3 – Engineering Drawing & GD&T Practice: Interpretation of drawings, limits & fits, surface-finish symbols, and 20 industrial examples including valve, housing, shaft, washer, and adapter.
Module 4 – Quality Tools (7 QC Tools): Cause-and-effect diagram, Pareto chart, control charts, scatter diagram, histogram, stratification, check sheets, and case studies.
Module 5 – Plug Gauge Design: Concept, design steps, and 5–6 examples such as valve body ID, bearing bore Ø35 mm, coupling hole Ø50 mm, piston pin bore, and adapter recess depth; validation and assessment.
Module 6 – Snap Gauge Design: Design for 8 mm OD, 37 mm width, 65 mm OD, 110 mm height, 12 mm groove diameter, 2 mm groove width; inspection methodology.
Module 7 – Flush Pin Gauge Design: Design for measuring component, groove, and thread depths; dial-type gauge for interior hole depth.
Module 8 – Advanced Gauge Design & Final Assessment: Design of flush-pin gauges for groove-depth position and height between unmeasurable or obstructed faces; final industrial assessment and project.
Module 9 – Tolerance Stack-Up & Mechanical Assembly Applications: Application of tolerance stack-up in real mechanical assemblies with live examples at AMTDC, IITM Research Park, Chennai.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

1. Interpret engineering drawings and apply Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) principles for effective inspection and quality verification of manufactured components.

2. Design, analyze, and validate industrial gauges, including plug gauges, snap gauges, and flush pin gauges, for accurate dimensional inspection.

3. Apply the 7 Quality Control (QC) tools to analyze manufacturing data, identify trends, and reduce defects and rejections.

4. Conduct root cause analysis using structured quality methodologies and implement Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) to improve process performance.

5. Plan and execute inspection processes, including in-process and final inspection, in accordance with industrial quality standards.

6. Prepare professional inspection and quality reports, including measurement records, analysis summaries, and corrective action documentation.

7. Demonstrate practical understanding of Quality Assurance (QA) systems and inspection practices followed in automotive and mass-production industries.
