This presentation by Ginette Collazo will discuss key topics including content development and formats designed for human error reduction due to procedures. Procedures are important for both execution and audits. These should be written for users without missing important information for regulators. Usually, procedures have weaknesses that harm productivity, quality, and regulatory standing.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
One of the major causes for incurring quality and production losses in many industries is human error. Although it is unlikely that human error can ever be totally abolished, many human performance problems could be prevented. Human errors begin at the design stage. Procedures play a vital role in human reliability. Nevertheless, it is extremely necessary to understand human behavior and the psychology of error as well as understand exactly where the instruction's weaknesses are, so procedures can be human-engineered, improved, and/or fixed.
