Concrete agreements and good monitoring are essential to increase the quality level. The perfect tool: AQL.
OPEN ENROLLMENT, also IN-COMPANY
Today’s consumer is critical; good quality is a must. No matter how beautiful the design is, in the end, fabric flaws, crooked seams, broken accessories, stains, falling off buttons and other ‘defects’ from the manufacturing process can cause the product not to catch on after all, or the number of returns and complaints to rise too much. Reputational damage and customer loss are likely. Moreover, it can affect durability and occasionally the product is even dangerous for the user concerned. Efficient handling of quality reports and issues requires good agreements on the quality level, checks and communication. A handy tool is AQL, a globally accepted standard, with statistical backgrounds. Learn everything you need to know about this standard on AQL and quality control in general, in order to manage your suppliers, agents and internal involved parties more skillfully!
Expected outcomes for participants after the session:
- have relevant knowledge of the AQL system and eliminate misunderstandings
- knowing which knobs can be turned within the AQL
- ability to make communication internally and with producers more effective
- ability to identify minor, major and critical product-defects
- understand how commerce relates to quality control.
What you will work on, among other things:
