So far in 2025, SBCA has held Quality Bootcamps in Phoenix, AZ, and Mt. Pleasant, SC, with great success. There are five more bootcamps for 2025 coming to your region! The next Quality Bootcamp will be in Minneapolis, MN, April 15-16.  

In 2025, SBCA is putting an emphasis on in-plant quality by holding two-day, in-person bootcamps across the country in each region that will focus on training all employees, from front-line production workers to upper management, on the various tools and resources available to component manufacturers (CMs) that seek to improve the quality of products coming out of the plant. 

 The schedule will be broken up into two parts, the first intended for managers and the second geared towards inspectors. Over the course of two days, SBCA instructors will cover a wide range of quality topics following the schedule below.
