First, an initial outline fora two and half day course was prepared and presented at the industry advisory board (IAB)meeting of Manufacturing Center of Excellence at HCC. While IAB members liked the overallcontent, it was suggested that the course be reduced to two-day from two and half-day. FurtherIAB members also suggested to prepare more focused courses on a specific topic rather than ageneral topic. In the next step, the initial general manufacturing topics were divided into twoshort courses focused on: a) manufacturing quality and b) manufacturing
