Introduction
Business processes are required to produce a product or service that meets the customer requirements. Defective product, late deliveries, not meeting quality specifications can all lead to customer complaints or lost orders.
In this course we look at “Quality Improvement”. The aim of the course is to equip the learner with the skills and competencies needed to implement quality improvements in business processes.
