COURSE INFORMATION

PREREQUISITE: Basic math skills required. Basic understanding of accounting basics helpful. Participants may benefit more from this training if they have taken the Lean Manufacturing workshop & simulation.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Participants will gain an understanding of the various costs of quality (prevention, appraisal, internal failures, external failures) and learn how to experience dramatic improvements in profitability by managing these costs. The course will include information on how traditional accounting categories often mask quality problems - with suggested approaches to gathering and tracking the quality performance data required to truly manage and improve the company's bottom line.
