Introduction

The need to meet and exceed customer expectations in a cost competitive environment makes the correct usage of the 7 QC (Quality Control) Tools imperative today for a unified and systematic approach to team problem solving. The tools help to develop and sustain a strong customer focus and improve all processes by identifying rejects, determining causes, suggesting improvements, and establishing tractability of each process. The 7 QC tools are fundamental for Continuous Improvement.

Objective

At the end of this training, participants should be able to:

• Understand the fundamental principles of problem-solving
• Understand how to apply the 7 QC tools in the workplace
• Comment critically on corrective actions raised as a result of applying the tools
• Take ownership of applying 7 QC Tools as a corrective and preventive measure to avoid mistakes and improve product / service quality
• Interpret and measure the effectiveness of implemented solutions

Audience

^{All personnel / team members directly involved in continuous improvement / quality improvement initiatives from both the manufacturing and service (including banking and finance, logistics, healthcare, government and public service) sectors}

Certificate

MAESTRO CONSULTANTS Certificate of Completion for delegates who attend and complete the training course

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
