Areas of expertise
Consultants and candidates with experience from manufacturing: individual specialists, interim managers and teams.
Quality Management
Leadership and structure for quality work.
We place quality managers and quality leaders who build and run the management system in practice. We look for people who have led quality organisations in manufacturing themselves and know how quality work is anchored in both the management team and production. Common assignments are interim manager roles, building a management system, or supporting an organisation through change, acquisition or growth.
Typical assignments
- Interim Quality Manager
- Building and maintaining management systems
- Quality strategy and quality objectives
- Leading a quality organisation through change
Quality Engineering
Quality assurance of product and process through the development chain.
Quality engineers who make sure the product is right from development all the way to series production. We work with APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA and SPC to prevent faults early. Assignments range from new industrialisation of products to stabilising a process that is not meeting its quality targets, often close to design, production and purchasing.
Typical assignments
- APQP
- PPAP
- FMEA (DFMEA/PFMEA)
- MSA (measurement system analysis)
- SPC (statistical process control)
Supplier Quality
Control and development of the supply base.
A large part of quality is decided at the suppliers. Our consultants carry out supplier audits, drive supplier development and handle deviations with 8D and root cause analysis. We also support purchasing with supplier selection and qualification, so that the right components reach production at the right time and quality.
Typical assignments
- Supplier audits and supplier development
- PPAP approvals
- Complaint and deviation handling (8D)
- Support to purchasing with supplier selection
Customer Quality
The customer interface and handling of deviations.
How a customer deviation is handled affects trust. We take care of customer complaints, customer audits and customer-specific requirements, and build routines that lead to fewer recurring faults and clearer communication. The goal is quality metrics that both you and your customer can rely on.
Typical assignments
- Handling of customer complaints
- Customer audits and requirements
- Follow-up of customer satisfaction and quality metrics
Operational Excellence
More efficient and stable processes.
We drive improvement work that delivers results. With Lean and Six Sigma we map flows, remove waste and stabilise processes, so that lead times are cut and quality becomes more even. Assignments range from single improvement projects to leading a Lean transformation with training and coaching of your employees.
Typical assignments
- Lean transformations
- Six Sigma (Green/Black Belt assignments)
- Process development and flow optimisation
- Business development and continuous improvement

Audit & standards
Confidence ahead of audits and certification.
An audit should not have to be a stress point. We prepare you for certification and recertification against IATF 16949, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, carry out internal audits and help close deviations. With an experienced auditor by your side you know where you stand well before the external audit.
