TCC-CIMET, German Partners Host Workshop on Quality Management Excellence

The TCC-International Centre for Innovation, Manufacturing, Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship (TCC-CIMET), in collaboration with its German partners, has organized a two-day workshop for professionals from entrepreneurship, education, research, construction, and engineering to strengthen technical capacity, encourage cross-sector collaboration, and provide practical tools for improving quality management systems within organizations.

The workshop created a collaborative and intellectually engaging environment where participants exchanged perspectives, examined challenges, and explored forward-looking approaches to quality management. Discussions throughout the programme highlighted the need for quality management systems that are responsive to local realities rather than relying solely on imported frameworks.

Participants openly discussed key challenges affecting quality management implementation in Ghana, including cost pressures, communication gaps, inadequate supervision, cultural resistance, and weak regulatory enforcement.

Lead Facilitator and Quality Management expert, Mrs. Matilda Freda Marful, said “that addressing these challenges requires practical and context-driven solutions that are sustainable over the long term.”

The training provided participants with practical skills through hands-on exercises in value stream mapping, process flow mapping, and the Turtle Diagram, equipping them with tools for process optimization and risk management.
