Initiatives and Updates from the Education Chair

from Bob Wittendorf

Dear ASQ Members and Interested Quality Professionals:

Courses
The Spring schedule of classroom-based, instructor-led courses is now posted on our web site. There are a few new courses for the Spring session, for example FMEA, Initiating and Facilitating Continuous Improvement, the CQA and CQE Prep/Refreshers, and both an evening and daytime Process Improvement-Statistical Tools course, and two dates for the one day course on Root Cause Analysis. Continuing this Spring are half-day Executive Overviews on the topics of Six Sigma/Lean and Baldrige specifically for the Healthcare industry and Educational organizations.

Not shown on the Spring schedule are the ISO 9001:2008 and AS9100C Understanding’ and Internal Auditor Training courses. If there is sufficient interest in holding these, I will put them on the training schedule between April and June. Email me with the course(s) you are interested in and how many from your company would probably attend.

There are some new courses that are in the planning stage (see the Spring Schedule). If there are at least six registrants then we can hold the course. Also, the Education Committee is researching how to deliver the courses as a Webinar that can be delivered through our new web site. See the Courses page for more information.
