Implementing an Effective Nonconforming Work Program

The course provides participants with tools to identify, rank, and respond to nonconformances efficiently and effectively in their organizations. Using examples provided, participants will work from nonconforming work identification through ensuring corrective action effectiveness using risk-based principles. Participants will identify and analyze non-conforming scenarios using a few key techniques and will practice using a couple of cause analysis and corrective action selection processes to support process improvement.

This course supplements and is supplemented by the “Managing Risk in Your Organization” course also offered by AWPT. When combined with robust understanding of any quality management system standards, these courses should equip a participant to excel at preventing most common nonconformities and effectively reacting to those few incidences which “slip through the cracks” of their organization’s management systems.

Price: $295.00

 

Prerequisites

1. Attendees should have a basic understanding of ISO management system requirements, especially those for handling nonconforming work and corrective actions, and have a basic understanding of process improvement concepts.
2. It might be beneficial for attendees to also attend, or have attended, AWPT’s “Managing Risk in Your Organization" course, which presents a proactive view on preventing nonconformities. This course only provides a reactive response perspective.
