A significant shift in quality training seminars has taken place in 2010 from basic dimensional inspection training to automotive-related quality disciplines. The QC Group’s offering of more than 70 course titles in over 50 cities nationwide is receiving a very different response in popularity compared to 2009. “Our 2010 on-site classes have all been ‘automotive’ related: APQP, Design FMEA, and Process FMEA” notes Jann Henkes, Training Coordinator at the QC Group. “Last year we saw a lot of cross training and re-training in quality basics due to companies downsizing. It appears that now, with high profile automotive recalls, companies are investing in process quality training, auditing, and advanced quality planning much more than we’ve seen in nearly 2 years.”
