Are you getting the most from your self inspection program?

More often than not the self inspection program happens once a year and bogs down QA resources.
Also, the program does not always have the support or respect from personnel (other than QA) or senior management. It it is often an uphill battle for QA to implement effectively.
I have found over the years that attaching a schedule to a self inspection program is something people are reluctant to commit to or try to make it as vague as possible.

And yet ..........within your schedule and frequency of inspections of various systems and processes, lies the opportunity to unleash the power of the program and make the inspection program work for you, your company and your resources.

If designed properly the self inspection program can add value to your business, by determining, measuring and identifying opportunities and threats relating to continual improvement of operations as well as being a compliance tool . When integrated properly with other quality systems It can improve operational effectiveness, efficiency and overall governance.

This webinar offers advice on how to get the most from your self inspection program.
