Course Overview
Variation in acceptance and rejection criteria is the enemy; averages conceal it. A quality system for rejection criteria that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. Every module pairs a short input on the practice within quality and productivity management with structured practice on the participant's own material. It is written for people who have to make acceptance and rejection criteria work with the resources they already have. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the quality and productivity management capability to standardise and which to leave flexible. Moving rejection criteria from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place acceptance and rejection criteria among the areas with the widest performance spread. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in rejection criteria, not around theory headings. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this area of quality and productivity management ready to put in front of a decision maker.
