PFMEA can be performed during development of manufacturing processes to minimize scrap and rework and to minimize the risk of quality “escapes”. It is also a highly effective technique to use in planning under any quality management system standard\, such as ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Managing Multiple Projects – Online
DESCRIPTION:Few leaders have the luxury of focusing on a single project. Instead\, they must balance multiple simultaneous projects\, constantly making imperfect trade-offs between conflicting needs. This class looks at the personal skills you need to manage multiple projects. However\, there is only so much you can do on your own. Therefore\, this class also looks at the supporting organizational framework that enables a project-based organization to do many projects. It also includes a short introduction to portfolio management\, which is a technique for deciding which projects to invest in. \nThis one day class will be delivered virtually in two half-day sessions \nRegister HERE
