Course Overview
Inspection catches problems in corrective action follow-up; it does not prevent them. A quality system for the quality and productivity management discipline that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. Participants who influence this aspect of quality and productivity management without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in corrective action follow-up rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this strand of quality and productivity management outperform teams that only plan it. The programme converts this part of quality and productivity management from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The difficulty is not agreeing that corrective action follow-up matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the wider quality and productivity management agenda is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this strand of quality and productivity management broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
