Leading Corrective and Preventive Action Teams
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers corrective and preventive action and non-conformance management from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with root cause analysis, equipment calibration and sample handling and chain of custody in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring root cause analysis into line with current good practice, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
- Explain equipment calibration to someone who does not do the work
- Make a decision about sample handling and chain of custody without waiting for a specialist
- Spot where supplier qualification is failing before it becomes a finding
