| Course Description | The aim of this course is to improve the managerial skills of the attendants by teaching the basic information about quality management and encouraging them for using the quality management problem-solving tools by practice. Today there are commonly known basic quality concepts that lack the theoretical framework to be used for solving managerial issues in daily work life. Therefore, it is needed a theory-practice integration in quality management. The main idea of this course is to encourage the attendants to develop fast, creative and practical solutions for the daily managerial issues through quality management when it is needed in case studies or training activities.
