Advanced Quality Management Systems
Laboratory and Quality Management|5 days|Classroom or live online
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into equipment calibration, data integrity and the judgement calls that sit outside SANAS accreditation requirements. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because quality managers are often appointed from the bench without management training. Delegates leave able to work confidently with non-conformance management, root cause analysis and proficiency testing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put non-conformance management on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
- Bring root cause analysis into line with current good practice
- Explain proficiency testing to someone who does not do the work
- Improve corrective and preventive action within their own organisation
