Advanced Non Conformance Management
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into accreditation preparation, quality management systems and the judgement calls that sit outside ISO 17025. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does. Delegates leave able to work confidently with root cause analysis, non-conformance management and corrective and preventive action in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review root cause analysis and say plainly whether it is working, measured against ISO 17025
- Make a decision about non-conformance management without waiting for a specialist
