🔶 My vision of quality: - Quality is about our attitude to our work; - Quality is about continual improvement, visual control, mistake proofing, creating robust systems, long term corrective actions, and preventive actions; - Quality is about simplification; - Quality is more about integrated management, rather than integrated management systems; - Quality needs to be embedded within every department; - All employees should be trained in problem solving, root cause analysis, continual improvement, corrective and preventive action, auditing, and flow charts – people should be able to document their own process. An experienced Quality Manager: Extensive experience in driving continual improvement, long term corrective actions, mistake proofing, and quality management systems; Have obtained and maintained ISO9001 certification for several companies; have obtained customer certification (JCB, Hyster, Mitsubishi); Creative and commercially-minded: Eliminated inspection costs, and streamlined documentation; committed to reducing waste and simplifying systems.
