Advanced Applications in Quality Management

Course Description

Go beyond the fundamentals of quality and investigate advanced applications of the best quality systems and practices. This unique course requires previous education and experience in quality so that the group discussions and assignments are dynamic and focused on moving beyond theory into real world applications that work. Nine (9) credits of the course are completed online prior to the live meeting through audio web lectures, reading materials and application based assignments. This pre-work becomes a springboard to dive right into the content at the conference and make maximum use of the face to face time with the instructors.
