Managing Microbiological Testing
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers document control and proficiency testing from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because quality managers are often appointed from the bench without management training, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with non-conformance management, equipment calibration and measurement uncertainty in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of non-conformance management rather than escalating it, measured against ISO 9001
- Improve equipment calibration within their own organisation
- Make a decision about measurement uncertainty without waiting for a specialist
- Bring internal auditing into line with current good practice
