Overview of the webinar

As technology advances, human error in manufacturing becomes more and more visible every day. Human error is responsible for more than 80 percent of process deviations in manufacturing environments. Sadly, little is known about the nature of these events mainly because quality event investigations end where human error investigations should begin. Human error is about explaining human behavior. Although it is unlikely that human error will ever be totally eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented.

Why should you attend?

From procedures, training, and workplace environment many variables that affect human behavior CAN be manipulated reducing the likelihood of these occurrences. To work with these challenges it is really important to understand human behavior and the psychology of error as well as understand exactly where the weaknesses of the system are, so they can be improved and/or fixed. This course offers practical approaches to address human performance issues in GMP related environments by using a specific methodology to correct, prevent and avoid re-occurrence of these issues.
