This course will provide you with the knowledge and skills required to conduct an internal audit program within your company. The course covers the fundamentals of auditing, useful industry-proven techniques, compliance criteria, how to foster good communication within the facility, the importance of auditor ethics, and gathering objective evidence, nonconformities, and reporting suggestions. This course is for those who are new to internal auditing and those that could use a refresher course.

Is your manufacturing facility undergoing a workforce shortage? Attracting, hiring, and keeping workers is one of today’s key workforce challenges. In this free webinar, we will discuss how collaborative robots (also called cobots) can help. Our speakers, Ryan Okelberry and Al Youngwerth, are local legends in the robotics industry who will share their experiences and answer your questions.
Cobots can be used in a wide variety of applications. They can work closely with human co-workers, are flexible, and can be repositioned rapidly. In addition, we will discuss how cobots can boost productivity and add value to most processes. Even small to medium manufacturers can utilize collaborative robots. Compared to other robots, cobots are usually safer, less expensive, and faster to deploy.
We will include demonstrations and examples of cobots. As with all decisions, you need to evaluate what equipment is appropriate for your facility. This webinar will provide information so that you can discuss the possibilities of adding or expanding robotics and automation in your facility.
