UPCOMING WEBINAR


Quality management system standards uniformly have requirements for controlling the devices used to measure, verify, test, and accept product and monitor the processes used to achieve specified results. Everyone seems to miss something. It’s almost inevitable. Perhaps it’s because this process is generally referred to as “calibration” and the mental image it conjures up is associated primarily with things like micrometers, depth gages, and comparators. The process is often much more elaborate, addressing appropriate consideration for gages, thermostats, software, jigs, timers, known-good-samples – a multiple of devices for measuring product or process. Controlling monitoring and measuring devices must, therefore, include multiple factors.

This lively and informative presentation examines auditing from an inward and outward perspective. It begins by proposing questions an organization should ask itself about the way its audit program is managed and implemented. Then the focus turns outward with a discussion of critical questions that should be used during audit interviews. This presentation is focused on driving improvement of the audit process itself so that it can produce the best results and sustain top management support.

Do you have recurring problems that are costing you time and money? Unresolved problems do more than aggravate. They can increase costs, lower quality, and drive customers away. Plus, quality management processes, such as ISO 9001, require organizations to have a corrective and preventive action process in place. Root cause analysis is integral to the success of any corrective action or problem-solving process. This practical, in-depth video presented by Denise Robitaille offers proven techniques for using root cause analysis in your organization.
