Risk-Based Thinking (8hrs)

Risk-Based Thinking Description: This 8-hour course reviews the new and improved terminology previously referred to as preventive action in the ISO 9001:2008 and earlier standards. Based on the latest requirements of the ISO 9001:2015 standard, risk-based thinking is a paradigm shift that makes up one of the most dramatic changes to the Quality Management System series of standards.

Risk-based thinking is a methodology of planning, executing, assessing and reacting to actual and potential risks to interested parties. "Interested parties" includes anyone that could be impacted by the known or potential risk. This methodology has been used for years in certain sectors - refined by the automotive and aerospace industry. However, risk-based thinking in auditing and various other support functions may be new to most quality practitioners. This paradigm shift requires organizations and their respective team members to consider risks both strategically and tactically in planning and decision making. CEUs = 0.8

Designed for: Leadership, Quality Management System (QMS) Representatives, Environmental Management System (EMS) Representatives, Health & Safety Management System (OHSAS) Representatives, Audit Program Managers, Internal Auditors and Supplier Development Engineers.
