Abstract:

Current educational systems are highly oriented to classroom training, based on lectures that students must memorize, use and practice. This causes a disconnection between the training plan and the subsequent real application, both at university levels and in professional training. This situation is exacerbated in areas of knowledge related to the industry, where experience plays a fundamental role.

Specifically, student training in statistical quality control concepts is very difficult: students associate the concepts with mathematical formulation but fail to understand their importance in industrial application. One way to solve this situation is to introduce the student to an industrial world using virtual reality software.

In this article, we explain how the realization of a practical session has been organized so that students can determine the capability of a process using virtual reality. Using a specialized software, the students are immersed in a factory environment, were standards processes are flowing. The students analyze the processes from the quality point of view, obtaining Cpk, Cpm, Pp indicators and thus the capability of the process.

The bases of the practice are shown for its subsequent reproducibility and the results obtained are discussed, drawing a series of conclusions about the project carried out.
