Class Name	Course Description
Expanding Manufacturing Capability to the DOD/Aerospace Industry	If you're wondering what key indicators and steps you need to take to expand into Department of Defense and/or aerospace contracts, this class is for you. Oklahoma Manufacturing Alliance's Joe Edmonson and Jenny Cothran will discuss current available opportunities for Northwest Oklahoma manufacturers, provide comprehensive guidance on navigating the procurement process, and review strategies for short-term and long-term planning to enter the complex world of DOD contracts in Oklahoma. Lunch is provided.
Follow-Up to a Mistake: Performing Root Cause Analysis & Taking Corrective Action	As a manufacturer, especially one who is also a small business or startup, pursuing projects that require ISO 9001 or another QMS designation can be intimidating. One reason that companies don't implement ISO is because they believe that there need to be zero mistakes, which is impossible. What's most important is the response to the mistake. Join us for the final of three classes to help make quality management systems (QMS) less intimidating and provide a casual learning environment where questions are encouraged. Pulling from the expertise of Kenton Dechant, quality manager for an international manufacturing firm, this session will focus on: •Recognizing and admitting to an "Oops" - how your response plays a role in your quality compliance •Performing root cause analysis to ensure a proper corrective action •How to fix the mistake This class will be full of examples and discussion, including information on how to go deeper down the rabbit hole (or avoid it!) of making quality a top priority to benefit your bottom line.
Implementing QMS Structure Into Your Business	As a manufacturer, especially one who is also a small business or startup, pursuing projects that require ISO 9001 or another QMS designation can be intimidating. Oftentimes, companies are told that becoming certified can potentially cost upwards of tens of thousands of dollars in initial training and investment. Let us help you navigate the decision to pursue your quality goals, and potentially save you thousands of dollars in getting started while giving you the confidence you need to pursue new contracts. Join us for the second of three classes to help make quality management systems (QMS) less intimidating and provide a casual learning environment where questions are encouraged. Pulling from the expertise of Kenton Dechant, quality manager for an international manufacturing firm, this session will focus on: •Reviewing contracts to determine quality requirements •Understanding purchasing controls within your company's processes •Producing your product, including development, procedures, equipment controls, and final approval •Continuous Improvement actions •Documentation, internal audits, management review, and more. •What QMS is NOT
