make quality a life skill

INTRODUCTION• The national quality policy focuses on the quality of a product, service quality of the organisation and quality of work life (QWL). This certificate programme provides the fundamentals for the above which includes QWL issues encompassing environmental and occupational health aspects, integrated SHEQ management as well as risk management.

• Total Quality Management (TQM) is a strategic necessity. It can have a definite positive effect on savings on the input costs of a business. This is why many businesses believe “quality is free”. Besides cost-route benefits, TQM also creates many market-route benefits. Suitably trained personnel are a prerequisite and, in pursuit of this objective, the Centre for Business Management, in conjunction with the business sector, has developed a TQM programme to provide training for those businesses and their employees concerned with quality.

• This popular programme offers a comprehensive package (technical and human aspects are both included) that covers the full range of quality concepts. The dynamic nature of business management and the correlation between quality practices and corporate performance require that the total spectrum of quality improvement concepts be included. These concepts are SPC, QA, JIT, QWL, TPM, KAIZEN, QFD, SHEQ Management and many more. • The programme is endorsed by SASQ (South African Society for Quality). • This programme is one of Unisa’s Centre for Business Management’s most popular non-formal tuition offerings in business and operations management

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT AND WHO SHOULD ENROLL FOR THE PROGRAMME?Students will be introduced and exposed to a culture and a value system that proclaims quality. If people are cultivated to accept fear, barriers and bad quality in terms of cheap inadequate products, poor tools, waste, damage, incidents, diseases, defects, rework, weak maintenance, low reliability, weak responsiveness, no access, low enthusiasm, lack of courtesy and so forth, then they will also accept the status quo of bad quality and low quality of life. This culture of “unquality” must be blown away. The strategy is TQM - Total Quality Management or the total management of quality, where quality is built in by adapting a holistic approach. The programme is therefore designed to meet broad customer needs in the wide business world, and for managers in all functional areas in the service and manufacturing industries. Although many senior managers attend the programme, the majority of students benefiting from this dynamic programme are the young generation from first line supervisors to middle managers with a senior certificate or proven quality related job experience.Specifically, the programme is for Quality Managers, Occupational Hygienists, Operations managers, Risk Managers, Environmental Managers, Quality Engineers, Production Managers, Operations Managers, SHEQ Managers, Safety Managers and Training Managers.

RISK MANAGEMENT BASED ON THE NEW ISO 31 0000 STANDARDISO 31 000: 2009 provides principles and generic guidelines on risk management

ISO 31 000: 2009 can be for any public, private or community enterprise, association, group or individual. Therefore, ISO 31 000:2009 is not specific to any industry or sector.

ISO 31 000:2009 can be applied throughout the life of an organisation, and to wide range of activities, including strategies and decisions, operations, processes, functions, projects, products, services and assets.

ISO 31 000:2009 can be applied to any type of risk, whatever its nature, whether having positive or negative consequences.

THE ODL-OPEN DISTANCE LEARNING METHODThe UNISA “tried and tested” ODL method of tuition is followed in this programme. The method is based on self-learning and uses a complete study package to impart knowledge and assist students to learn application skills in the particular field or discipline. The study package comprises a textbook (to be purchased by student) and a study guide for each of the four modules and a number of tutorial letters (201s) containing details of the assignments and feedback on the assignments.

UNISA TQM PROGRAMME = 48 CREDITSThis short learning programme is designed according to the “criteria for short courses and skills programmes.” The programme is unit standard based which means the outcomes of learning per module (with topics) equals a unit with 12 credits (this equals ±120 notional hours). This TQM programme is NQF ( National Qualifications Framework) level 6.

ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATIONStudents will be evaluated in each of the four modules by means of both assignments (formative assessment) and a formal written examination (summative assessment).

Formative Assessment: For the purposes of the formative assessment, one assignment per module are set of which the students must complete (compulsory assignments) before or on the due date. The compulsory assignments are formally assessed by the lecturer and/or his/her appointed external marker. Note: the compulsory assignments provide the student with the opportunity to obtain a year mark which will be used in the calculation of his/her final mark.

Summative Assessment: For the purposes of the summative assessment, one two-hour examination counting 70 marks must be written in January/February for each of the four modules. The examination will primarily consist of essay-type questions. Should the need arise, supplementary examinations will be written in May/June.
