PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

| Ken worked as a regional manager of ISO 9000
certification services for a registrar. His duties included
developing a marketing strategy for a thirteen-state region,
provided technical leadership and training for his assigned
auditor pool and conduct registration audits as an RAB Certified
Lead Assessor. Developing market plans and
|
|
| auditing to the QS-9000 automotive
industry standard was one of Ken's responsibilities. One of
Ken's most important field quality functions for AT&T was
quality improvement programs (QIP's) for suppliers' who were
experiencing abnormal variation in their delivered
product. Using the 5M's of quality (Man, Machine Material,
Method & Metrology),
|
|
|
the Pareto Principle and Multivariate Analysis of
Variance (MANOVA), Ken succeeded in eliminating the variation experienced in the
supplier's product. The elimination of source inspection and promotion to a
higher level of quality system compliance to the ISO 9000 standards was a
typical result of Ken's efforts.
