Event

In view of the 35-jubilee celebration of DARQA on May 27, 2016, a pre-conference will be held the day before.

The venue for the pre-conference is ‘De Veerensmederij’ in Amersfoort, The Netherlands..

The theme for this conference is

‘Be prepared .. ‘

Given this theme, the DARQA pre-conference provides insights into the future of quality and system thinking. The carefully planned programme is intended to bridge the theory of the ‘the fathers of quality’ to daily practices so that delegates can build on that in their own work environments.

There is no question that the worlds of R&D and production/services are fundamentally changing.

Worldwide industries and service providers are in the midst of the 4^th industrial revolution, also known as the ‘industrial Internet’. This equally applies to DARQA’s constituency; life sciences, food/feed and healthcare. As this revolution evolves, quality assurance personnel, managers and inspectors/investigators will witness their work processes & methods transform drastically.

Managing new complexities requires a different mind-set and another skill set: quality thinking and systems thinking. This conference will help you to get there. By attending this conference you can capitalise on the knowledge and skills from a rocket science environment such as NASA (featured speaker Bill Bellows, is employed by Aerojet Rocketdyne, a propulsion system contractor to NASA) and petrochemical giant Shell. Featured speaker James Haug, is employed by Shell). The presented ideas and case histories give you a unique and direct insight into these worlds. You learn how to directly apply and implement the theory of quality thinking and system thinking in life sciences, healthcare and other complex industry sectors.

You will be better prepared for the future by attending and becoming conversant with the theme of the conference.

Quality thinking and systems thinking is universally applicable, therefore the preconference welcomes delegates from ALL quality driven sectors including; chemical & energy industry, ICT, aviation/aeronautics, aerospace, automotive, lithography, education, agriculture and financial institutions.

So take full advantage of this unique opportunity to learn from the experts and ask your questions during the panel discussions by preparing questions and sending cases with your registration.

Be inspired and enriched by James Haug (Shell), Martin Browning (EduQuest) and Bill Bellows (In2:InThinking Network).
