QUALITY SYSTEMS Training

ARE YOU EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE CHALLENGES?
Employees have differing ideas about what it means to produce a quality product or service?
Quality initiatives seem motivated by a quest for perfection rather than a desire to meet customer quality standards?
Bottom line implications of quality issues, scrap and rework not clearly understood?
Employees or departments tend to "blame" others for quality problems, lacking an appreciation of how each department contributes to the perceived quality of your product or service?
Employees lack the skills and tools necessary to make "improving quality" an integral part of their work?
Need a systematic, team-based approach to addressing and overcoming quality issues?
…If the answer is "Yes," then MMEC's Quality Systems training may be what you need.

COURSE INFORMATION
PREREQUISITE: None
However, participants may benefit more from this training if they have taken the Lean Manufacturing workshop & simulation.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In this course, participants will have an opportunity to explore how quality is "defined" within their organization or operation. Internal definitions of quality will be compared and contrasted with customer-driven definitions of quality. Participants will also be challenged to strike an optimum balance between the cost of quality and the benefits of quality. Team-based class exercises, using problem-solving tools to address quality issues, will give participants a chance to test their quality assumptions and apply what they've learned. The course is designed to give participants the tools they need to address quality issues and create a company-wide environment of continuous improvement.

Identify the types of costs associated with quality issues and how to document their bottom line impact.
