Expertise
Expertise encompasses all aspects of defining, designing, requirements baselining, structuring, writing, deploying, and upgrading effective management systems in multiple sectors. Systems range from simple commercial to complex high-hazard safety-related requiring: requirements management matrix development, large-scope information management systems (data/documents/records/reports), complex multi-site assessments and sustaining analysis. Mastery in baselining management system startups, upgrades, turnarounds.
Working knowledge of national/international codes, standards, regulations, and stipulations encompassing U.S. ASME, U.S. DOE Orders, ISO Standards, U.S. NRC Regulations/NUREGs/CFRs, IAEA Standards, U.S. Baldrige Performance Criteria, and others. Over 10K hours engaged in management system assessments (1983 ASME/NQA-1 Nuclear Lead Assessor certified, and 1994 U.S. and UK ISO QMS Lead Assessor certified – six sectors).
Service marked ‘GQM Advisors Management Systems Focused on Quality Since 1991.’
