Laboratory Quality Management (LQM)

Fields of expertise and brief portrait

The Quality Management Laboratory (LQM) offers our students the opportunity to familiarise themselves with classical measuring methods and quality assurance tools on the practical level and to apply them directly. The activities in the LQM focus primarily on the interfaces of the technical and the economic aspects in industrial quality assurance and also on quality management methods.

We are also in the process of setting up applications of VR/AR methods in After-Sales Service and for quality audits to be used as part of the teaching and for students’ practical work. A simulation of QM assessments as per the EFQM model 2020 is expected to be available from the beginning of winter semester 2020-21. As part of its teaching, the LQM furthermore develops and tests business games which are intended to equip the students with QM knowledge. The Quality Management Laboratoryalso supports students who want to undertake further project work and Bachelor projects, for example on topics such as quality management 4.0, Service QM, measurement methods and concepts in manufacturing or quality audits.

If you have any questions about the work undertaken and the classes in the LQM, please contact Prof. Zürn directly.
