ISO9001:2000 Lead AUDITOR Course - IRCA Registered

Introduction
Probably the best method of "getting up to speed" with the ISO9000:2000 standard.

Modern Quality Assurance Management philosophy is based on the maxim ‘look after the system and the system will look after the product'. System Review and Evaluation is the means by which we look after the system. Many current material control techniques e.g. ‘Just in Time' and purchasing policies depend upon the quality of the supplies. Assessment and evaluation of suppliers is an essential part of many control systems.

This is a five day course registered course for internal auditors.
