This practical five-day programme explores advanced quality management concepts, Total Quality Management (TQM) principles, quality performance measurement, and facilities management best practices. Participants will learn how to reduce the cost of poor quality, apply international quality standards, and implement effective maintenance and operational improvement strategies.

The course also covers problem-solving techniques such as Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Statistical Process Control (SPC), and Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). In addition, participants will explore quality audits, KPI development, maintenance planning, and methods for building a culture of quality excellence and continuous improvement.
