Description

The Production and Quality Management Training Course is a comprehensive, industry-focused program designed to equip participants with the knowledge, tools, and competencies required to manage, optimize, and sustain high-performing production and quality systems.

This course covers the full spectrum of modern production operations—including capacity planning, workflow management, inventory control, lean manufacturing, process optimization, and digital transformation. Participants will also gain in-depth exposure to quality management principles such as ISO standards, quality assurance systems, statistical process control (SPC), risk management, corrective and preventive action (CAPA), audits, and continuous improvement frameworks.

Through interactive learning, case studies, practical templates, and real-world examples, learners develop actionable expertise to analyze production processes, eliminate inefficiencies, improve product quality, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction. The course is ideal for professionals in manufacturing, processing, supply chain, engineering, pharmaceuticals, food, construction, and other production-driven industries.


Course Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Production Management Objectives

  • Understand the fundamentals of production systems, workflows, planning, scheduling, and resource management.

  • Apply tools and techniques for improving production efficiency, reducing downtime, and optimizing throughput.

  • Use Lean, 5S, Kaizen, and waste-reduction strategies to streamline operations.

  • Implement effective inventory and materials management techniques—including EOQ, MRP, FIFO/FEFO, and JIT systems.

  • Analyze production bottlenecks using root-cause tools and performance metrics.

Quality Management Objectives

  • Understand the principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) and Quality Assurance (QA).

  • Interpret and apply ISO 9001:2015 quality management system requirements.

  • Use Statistical Process Control (SPC) tools to measure and control process variation.

  • Implement CAPA systems, deviation management, and non-conformance handling.
