About
My name is Marnie and my mission is to help you UNITE your systems - ISO (9001, 14001, 45001), quality management, operational excellence, lean and Six Sigma for REAL improvement.
I know you want to get real VALUE for your efforts and I'm here to help you leverage the leanest and simplest methods to actually IMPROVE the quality of your products and services.
I'm committed to protecting the environment, and the interests of the community and society as a whole through strong ethical standards and social responsibility.
I started my career in the Detroit automotive manufacturing industry, working with small to medium size companies. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Business, several certifications through the American Society for Quality in management, auditing and metrology, and I have experience in operations, quality, purchasing, supply chain management and sales where I worked with a variety of manufacturers. I even became part-owner of a flat rolled coil steel company.
I moved from Michigan to Tampa Bay Florida where I became a Six Sigma Black Belt and began a whole new chapter in my life as an ambassador of quality where I’ve been able to integrate traditional quality management with lean and Six Sigma to create comprehensive business management systems integrating environmental, health & safety and quality (EHSQ).
And as a member of US TAG to TC176, the group responsible for maintaining the international standard ISO9001, I continue to engage in the activities shaping the world of quality management and continual improvement.
Working extensively in lead-acid battery recycling has sparked a passion in me for the future of sustainable energy and environmental responsibility. I'm also deeply committed to developing management systems within the recycling and sustainability sectors, using lean and simple methodologies to reduce waste and leverage resources.
Specialty sectors include a diverse array of manufacturing, (flat rolled, coil steel, metal stamping, CNC machining, heat treating, electroplating, plastic extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, electrical wire harness manufacturing, bearing design & production, corrugated packaging, lead-acid battery recycling/secondary lead smelting), commercial construction, trucking/warehousing/third party logistics, commercial sign design & fabrication, outsourced supply chain management and food and beverage production and packaging.
Experience in operations, quality, purchasing, supply chain management and sales helps truly understand your needs and customize the best solutions to help you identify growth, sustainability and profitability improvement opportunities for your business.
Our approach is always no-nonsense and hands-on. All solutions are custom created to meet your needs and provide the value you’re looking for. Projects are scoped specifically to address your needs, without unnecessary boiler plate activities. And all training is interactive and workshop-based.
