Affordable group training coming to Rockford area to introduce quality concepts and tools
IMEC (Illinois Manufacturing Extension Center) is launching a new series on June 6th in northern Illinois for small and mid-sized manufacturers to learn about quality concepts fundamental to operations. This group training on quality essentials for manufacturers serves as a cost effective way to bring together several different areas, and specific topics, to address quality concerns under one project. The various courses will detail and demonstrate the fundamental Quality Management System concepts and principles enabling manufacturers to reap maximum benefits.
Management representatives, internal auditors and other key personnel implementing or considering implementation of a QMS (ISO, AS, TS) will benefit from better understanding the value in QMS tools and the potential barriers to implementing a successful Quality Management System. Companies with a poorly defined or nonexistent quality system, or employees in need of an introduction or refresher in quality training, are encouraged to register for the 8-week series. With staggered sessions throughout the summer, this Quality Essentials training will minimize disruptions at work and improve learning. Courses to be led by Sherri Schulz, IMEC Quality Professional with more than 17 years of manufacturing and quality service experience.
