Built It Right: Quality-Driven Component & Material Choices

This continuing education online CPD course explains how to integrate ISO 9001's risk-based thinking into engineering component and material selection decisions.
 

This course emphasizes practical engineering decision-making and documentation, enabling engineers to identify, evaluate, and mitigate risks while selecting components and materials that support quality, reliability, and long-term performance objectives.
 

ISO 9001 promotes a proactive approach to quality management by incorporating risk-based thinking throughout the design and decision-making process. Applying these principles during component and material selection helps engineers reduce potential failures, improve product performance, ensure regulatory compliance, and support consistent engineering outcomes across a wide range of applications.
 

Therefore, this course covers the principles of risk-based thinking within the ISO 9001 framework, including methods for assessing design risks, applying decision matrices and risk-scoring techniques, documenting engineering decisions, and selecting appropriate components and materials. It also emphasizes practical implementation through multidisciplinary engineering examples and demonstrates how structured risk assessment contributes to higher-quality, more defensible design decisions.
 

This 2 CPD online course is applicable to mechanical engineers and materials engineers, as well as other technical professionals interested in learning more about integrating ISO 9001 risk-based thinking into engineering component and material selection.
