Strategic Sample Management
5 days|Delivered on request
Strategic Sample Management looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on sample handling and chain of custody, accreditation preparation 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 root cause analysis, non-conformance management and measurement uncertainty in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about root cause analysis without waiting for a specialist, measured against ISO 17025
- Bring non-conformance management into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of measurement uncertainty rather than escalating it
- Review data integrity and say plainly whether it is working
