Fundamentals of Statistical Process Control

Laboratory and Quality Management|2 days|Classroom or live online

Fundamentals of Statistical Process Control is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through corrective and preventive action and supplier qualification without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with proficiency testing, document control and method validation in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Make a decision about proficiency testing without waiting for a specialist, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
Explain document control to someone who does not do the work
Take ownership of method validation rather than escalating it
Bring laboratory design into line with current good practice
