The TCC International Centre for Innovation, Manufacturing, Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship (TCC-CIMET), in partnership with the Ghana Institution of Engineers (GhIE) and the Centre for Capacity Development and Manufacturing (CECADAM), is set to provide Industrial visits to Stuttgart, Germany.
The industrial visit program is designed to equip Ghanaian professionals with practical insights into how Quality Management Systems (QMS) is implemented globally in various industrial sectors, while tailoring lessons to local operational realities.
In a conversation with Quality Auditor, Mrs. Matilda Marful, highlighted the value of for industrial benchmarking in leading institutions abroad.
"The upcoming industrial visit to Germany presents a unique opportunity for institutions to gain firsthand insights into the strategies, systems, and best practices that enable top-ranking institutions to consistently maintain their positions of excellence,” she said.
She further stressed the importance of contextualizing quality management practices.

That is why such industrial visits are important; they allow us to put the system in context, helping organizations position themselves to compete globally,” she explained.
