Michael J. Gross, LLC

Exemplar Global Certified Management Systems Lead Consultant (ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, ISO 45001). PECB Certified Lead Implementer and Lead Auditor (ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, ISO 45001). PECB Certified Trainer and training provider. My personal motivation is for regional companies to succeed, keep, and grow jobs here supporting our local economy and our families. Continual improvement and risk management are critical components for long term success. I am available to discuss your needs and how my background and experience can accelerate your improvement through quality control system coaching, manufacturing process improvement, and more. I understand the demands of automotive quality and that all management systems require similar implementation and execution approaches despite the differences in technical details. My 35 years of experience is strong in manufacturing, but my systems development, problem solving, auditing, and training experience can be applied to non-manufacturing processes as well. I do not look to implement a pre-packaged documentation approach to management system conformance - instead, evolving your existing systems (whether documented or not). Examples where my experience can bring value: -Assisting ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 14001, ISO 45001,ISO 13485 Integrated Management Systems development and implementation (gap analysis, documentation, auditing, training) -Problem solving and data analysis (design of experiments, ANOVA, regression analysis, basic statistics, training) -Supplier development (critical dimension identification, auditing) -Quality Management (planning, assurance, control, and improvement) -Regulatory compliance administration and Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program development -Automotive Core Tools (advanced product quality planning, production part approval process, failure mode and effects analysis, measurement system analysis, statistical process control - development, training)
