Overview:

Supervision plays a crucial role in Human Error Reduction and Control. Critical Factors like preparation, planning, scheduling, communication, among many others, will be discussed as part of this webinar.

People make mistakes because they can; our systems allow it. To work with these challenges, it is essential to understand human behavior and the psychology of error as well as understand exactly where the weaknesses of the system are so that they can be improved and fixed.

This course offers practical approaches for supervision on the floor, strategies to get your group in sync, and approach issues in GMP-related environments by using a specific methodology to correct, prevent and avoid the re-occurrence of these issues.

Why you should Attend:

This training would provide tools that can be implemented and used after this event. This includes practical tools. We will discuss why supervision is so important in reducing and preventing human error.
