--Target 12.4
2. Learning results
The student, in order to pass this subject, must demonstrate the following results...
1. -Applies techniques of control, assurance, quality management, total quality and continuous improvement of products and processes throughout their life cycle.
2. -Identify product standardization and certification needs, as well as legal requirements for product safety and assess their compliance.
3. -Know and document a quality management system applicable to a manufacturing company, standardized according to ISO
-9001 or other international benchmarks (EFQM, and others), as well as similarly documents integrated management systems and quality management systems of industrial testing/calibration laboratories.
4. -Plan and deploy quality management objectives and undertakes audits of quality management systems and the processes documented therein.
5. -Know and selects appropriate inspection and verification methods (including statistical process control, design of experiments, reliability, etc.) according to criteria such as the manufacturing system used or the established quality objectives.

4. Academic activities
Lectures, problem classes and practical sessions in the laboratory are given according to the timetable and calendar established by the center (available in its web page).
The list and dates of the different activities, together with all kinds of information and documentation about the subject, will be published in the Digital Teaching Ring (ADD) of the University of Zaragoza.
As a guideline:
- Each week, 3 hours of classes (lectures or problems) are scheduled.
- Approximately every two weeks the student will perform a 2.5 hour laboratory practicum.
5. Assessment system
Gradual assessment. Divided into three blocks:
Block 1:
Written tests consisting of solving theoretical and practical questions and problems. It represents 30% of the final grade and must obtain a grade higher than 4.0 (out of 10) to average with the rest of the blocks.
Block 2:
Practice reports of the subject. It represents 10% of the final grade and a grade higher than 4.0 (out of 10)must be obtained in order to average with the rest of the blocks.
Block 3:
Set of works in which to solve the cases presented. It represents 60% of the final grade and a grade higher than 4.0 (out of 10) must be obtainedto average with the rest of the blocks.
The grade for the subject will be obtained from the weighted average of all the blocks. A grade of 5.0 or higher must be obtained to pass.
Global assessment.
In case of not passing any of the blocks of the gradual assessment, the student may take the global assessment to which they are entitled, in any of the two calls, which will consist of an exam that includes both blocks of the gradual assessment, with the same scheme of distribution of points and minimum grades.
