To move beyond audit-only, traditional approaches organizations need to explore different ways to improve their understanding and engagement of suppliers. CBCI programs help develop stronger relationships with suppliers and drive long-term workplace improvement - particularly when traditional approaches have reached their limit of effectiveness. These programs utilize flexible, repeatable frameworks of practical approaches to drive continuous improvement throughout the supply chain and/or at targeted suppliers. They help to identify areas of concern and formulate a strategy to not only mitigate the risk but educate the supplier and improve their performance.

This training provides information on basic concepts of root cause analysis and workplace systems development, as well as program design and how to implement continuous improvement management strategies.
