Applying Conformity Assessment to Holiday Planning
December 10 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EST

Holiday planning may not seem like conformity assessment but think again! From determining requirements and selecting suppliers to evaluating results and addressing nonconformities, many familiar conformity assessment concepts can be found in our seasonal traditions.
In this light-hearted year-end webinar, we will use holiday planning scenarios to explore concepts, such as requirements, supplier evaluation, competence, impartiality, complaints, corrective action and risk-based thinking. Along the way, we will consider some important questions:
- Does the holiday meal meet specified requirements?
- Is Grandma impartial when evaluating her own cookies?
- Does a complaint about the meal constitute corrective action?
- What objective evidence supports that the holiday meal was a success?
Join us for a festive look at conformity assessment principles and discover just how much conformity assessment may already be hiding in your holiday plans.
