Duration:  2 days
Time: 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

This course will engage participants in a common goal of effecting positive change and improving equipment, facility, and utility reliability through facilities and engineering. Participants will learn to identify and anticipate equipment problems, and then apply techniques to ensure resources are provided to those equipment issues. Topics and perspectives presented will aim to provoke thought and elicit potential actions that participants can take back to their organizations, such as analyzing and presenting the cost of quality and comparing the impact of fixing the problems now, fixing them later, or fixing when it's too late. Through the lens of facilities and engineering work, this course will traverse the FDA process validation lifecycle with a punch list of many topics, some of which are: aging facilities; knowledge management; and, meaningful metrics.
