Strategic Analytical Chemistry Practice

Laboratory and Quality Management|5 days|Classroom or live online

Strategic Analytical Chemistry Practice looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on document control, internal auditing and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because quality managers are often appointed from the bench without management training. Delegates leave able to work confidently with non-conformance management, corrective and preventive action and technical record keeping in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Review non-conformance management and say plainly whether it is working, measured against good laboratory practice
Spot where corrective and preventive action is failing before it becomes a finding
