Quality Management System (QMS) Consulting

Continually improve quality and reduce waste - and grow your business - with an effective quality management system.

• ISO 9001

Quality Management System Implementation

• Purdue MEP’s QMS experts, who all have experience in manufacturing, can facilitate preparation for the implementation of a QMS for your organization.

QMS Gap Analysis

• As quality management standards change, your QMS must also change. Purdue MEP’s QMS experts can perform QMS gap analyses to compare your current QMS to the current standard and identify specific updates needed.

Internal Auditing

• Purdue MEP’s subject matter experts are certified Lead Auditors through internationally recognized certification bodies (such as Exemplar Global, IRCA, etc.).

These audits are designed to show conformance, judge effectiveness, and identify improvements that can increase productivity and profitability.

Supplier Audits

• Purdue MEP can also assist with supplier audits, which can consist of a single process audit, a full QMS audit, or targeted support in resolving a specific quality or delivery issue. At the completion of the audit, the client will receive an audit report or assessment for their records.

SQF Consulting

• Purdue MEP has certified Safe Quality Food (SQF) experts available to help manufacturers achieve SQF food safety or quality certification. 

Fractional Quality Support
