Quality Assurance
My expertise includes all aspects of the Quality Assurance process learned over many years as a Quality/Engineering Manager. In that capacity, I ensured that customers' designs would meet their needs before we took an order. This often entailed systems review, design for manufacture, and liaison to ensure success.
Ways I can help your QA process:
Processes, documentation, and training
Creating complete quality systems, including policies and manuals, document control system, calibration, management responsibility, etc., to the requirements of ISO-9001, MIL-I-45208A, and ISO-9000-2000
Creating and documenting test methods to enable verification
Documentation of customer requirements, test methods and records, and calibration
Audits to ensure systems are working properly
Procedures and training to prepare the department to be self-sufficient
Awareness training of entire company
Testing methods
Interferometry
Null testing
Alternative figure and TWF evaluation
Radius and focal length
Autocollimation
Alternative angle tests
Cylinders and aspheres
