I offer consulting and teaching in the general area of quality in engineering and manufacturing processes, with emphasis on mistake prevention and robustness improvement. My skills portfolio include all aspects of quality management, and in particular I specialize in solving problems that lie at the interface between engineering and statistical science, and integrating engineering strategies aimed at failure mode avoidance.

Based on my 30 years of international experience in manufacturing industry, together with my chartered professional grade in both statistical science (with the Royal Statistical Society) and mechanical engineering (with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers), and as a Senior Member of the American Society of Quality, I have useful expertise in the following areas:

  • Project Management and Project Planning
    • within the New Product Development Process, and
    • for Emergency Problem Solving.
  • Crisis Control and Management 
  • Development of Quality Operating Systems
  • Systems Engineering
    • target setting
    • system reliability
  • Failure Mode and Effect Analysis* (FMEA), and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
  • Engineering Standards, Compliance, & Deviation protocols for Mistake Prevention
  • Robust Engineering Design, including
    • concept selection,
    • parameter design,
    • tolerance analysis, and
    • noise factor management
  • Design of Experiments, Empirical Model Building, and Transfer Function Development
  • Design Verification Test Planning, and Sign-Off reporting
  • Problem-solving and Root Cause Analysis (with additional emphasis on Prevent Recurrence Actions)
  • Statistical Process Control approached from the perspective of Shewhart & Deming
* I prefer to think of the FMEA as Failure Mode and Effect Avoidance, and teach it as such

See my Publications, Conference presentations, and biography for some technical details and downloads of what I have to offer. A list of some of my recent clients (with onward links) is provided opposite.

If you think that I might be able to help you or your organization in any of the areas listed above, please get in touch via e-mail or telephone.
