Total Quality Management (TQM) in Laboratory Operations



Introduction:


The purpose of a laboratory is to extract the information contained in a sample and present it to decision makers who must decide on their further actions based on the laboratory results. The risks of a wrong decision can be enormous. In this course the basic aspects of Quality in Laboratory Operations will be examined from the Total Quality Management (TQM) perspective. This means that all the influences and sources of uncertainty which could cast doubt on the reliability of a laboratory result must be identified and suitably addressed.

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

 

  • A thorough understanding of the factors which could influence the results of laboratory analyses
  • The factors, which are important for good laboratory operations
  • The use of statistical techniques to estimate the uncertainty in measurements
