Strategic Root Cause Analysis
Laboratory and Quality Management|5 days|Classroom or live online
Strategic Root Cause Analysis looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on corrective and preventive action, internal auditing and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does. Delegates leave able to work confidently with accreditation preparation, document control and non-conformance management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain accreditation preparation to someone who does not do the work, measured against ISO 9001
- Bring document control into line with current good practice
- Review non-conformance management and say plainly whether it is working
- Make a decision about data integrity without waiting for a specialist
