I enjoy leading people to improve the quality of their products and services through Quality Systems, with a focus on Process Mapping and Continual Improvement.  In developing Quality Systems, I use the “bottom-up” approach, by mapping the existing systems from order entry to shipping.  After defining the existing systems, the processes can be reviewed to identify risks and improvements.  This bottom-up approach creates a relevant Quality System for your organization with better by-in from employees, as opposed to a “top down” approach that begins with Quality Management System (QMS) requirements.  If a certified QMS certification is desired (e.g. ISO 9001), the best time to do gap analysis is after defining your QMS.

Proven track record for improving quality in many industries, as well as successful lean projects.
