Welcome from the examiner!
Welcome to the course! You will explore quality management and its role in building sustainable organizations, focusing on key frameworks such as Total Quality Management (TQM), Lean, and Business Excellence Models. The course combines theory with real-world applications and introduces contemporary tools and strategies used by leading organizations.
All course information will be available on Canvas about one week before the course starts, including the schedule, materials, and updates. We recommend that you ensure access to the course literature in advance; the required readings for SMMY31 are available digitally through Lund University Library.
We look forward to meeting you!
