Description
COURSE OVERVIEW

Continuous improvement is essential for all types and sizes of companies in all sectors to remain competitive in today’s challenging business environment. CQI has evolved considerably from its early growth within TQM, and now embraces 6 Sigma, Kaizen and LEAN theory. This course provides an overview of these theories of quality and business improvement, and provides an introduction to the key tools used in their successful application. The introduction of a continuous improvement culture is the key to long term success in today’s manufacturing and services environments. Such a culture requires leadership, resourcing and continuous nurturing. As a leader, you can gain substantial traction in your career if you can demonstrate success with the application of these principles, and in the successful execution of a business improvement program.

This course will also provide you with a framework to plan for and successfully lead a small scale business improvement initiative, and help you to build a continuous improvement culture in your organization.
