Process Mapping and Value Stream Analysis
This course teaches delegates to see their processes clearly and to expose the delays, rework, and handoffs that erode quality and speed. Participants build current state maps, calculate lead time and value added ratios, and design improved future states. The techniques apply equally to manufacturing and to administrative and service processes.

More in Quality & Auditing
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems Lead Auditor
This course prepares delegates to plan, conduct, and report full quality management system audits against the ISO 9001:2015 standard. Participants work through the audit lifecycle from programme planning to closing meetings and corrective action follow-up, using structured practical exercises. The programme also covers auditor competence, evidence gathering, and the discipline of writing defensible nonconformity reports.
Root Cause Analysis and Corrective Action Techniques
Delegates learn to move beyond quick fixes and identify the true origins of recurring quality problems. The course covers structured investigation tools including the five whys, fishbone diagrams, fault tree analysis, and barrier analysis, applied to real defect and failure scenarios. Participants also practise writing corrective actions that address systemic causes rather than symptoms.
Statistical Process Control for Manufacturing
This programme teaches practitioners how to monitor and control processes using statistical methods that reveal variation before it becomes defective product. Delegates build and interpret control charts for variables and attributes, calculate process capability indices, and distinguish common cause from special cause variation. The course uses shop floor data sets so that techniques transfer directly to the workplace.
