Client Success Stories
Quality Resource Center has been building audit-ready management systems from Silicon Valley since 1992. In that time QRC has designed and implemented quality management systems for more than 1,000 organizations, across manufacturing, aerospace, medical devices, technology, automotive, and electronics recycling.
The programs below are the client work QRC is able to show publicly, grouped by the standard involved. Client logos are published with permission; the detail behind each program is confidential. During a complimentary consultation we can put you in touch with references in your own industry.

ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems
The standard: ISO 9001, the international quality management system standard.
What QRC did: Turnkey system design and implementation, process identification and interaction mapping, policy and procedure development, KPI and performance measurement systems, management review facilitation, and registrar liaison through the certification audit.
The outcome: Certified, audit-ready quality management systems that keep working after the registrar leaves — the reason QRC has retained so many of its original clients over three decades.

ISO 9001 Internal Auditor and Management Training
The standard: ISO 9001, clause 9.2 internal audit and clause 9.3 management review.
What QRC did: Role-based training for executives, project leaders, implementation teams, and internal auditors — delivered at QRC’s Silicon Valley training facility, onsite at client locations, or by live webinar.
The outcome: In-house audit teams capable of running the internal audit programme without outside help, and management reviews that produce decisions rather than minutes.

AS9100 Aerospace Quality Systems
The standard: AS9100 for aerospace manufacturers, AS9110 for aviation maintenance, and AS9120 for aerospace and defense distributors.
What QRC did: Aerospace system design and implementation, configuration and special-process controls, documentation, and audit preparation for suppliers working to prime-contractor flow-down requirements.
The outcome: Aerospace suppliers certified and listed, able to hold and win prime-contractor and defense business.

ISO 13485 Medical Device Quality Systems
The standard: ISO 13485, the quality management system standard for the medical device life cycle.
What QRC did: Documented procedures, design controls and design history files, record and traceability structures, and readiness work for notified-body and registrar audits.
The outcome: Device organizations operating a compliant, fully documented quality system built for regulatory scrutiny rather than for the binder.

ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems
The standard: ISO 14001, the environmental management system standard.
What QRC did: Environmental aspect and impact identification, legal and compliance obligation registers, objective setting, and internal auditor training for the environmental system.

IATF 16949 Automotive Quality Systems
The standard: IATF 16949, the automotive quality management system standard.
What QRC did: Automotive system implementation and core-tool support — APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, control plans, and statistical process control — plus internal auditor training. QRC’s President and CEO, Dan Terry, is a certified lead auditor for the automotive standard.
The outcome: Automotive suppliers running core tools as part of daily production control, and audit teams able to audit against the automotive requirements in-house.

R2, RIOS and e-Stewards Responsible Recycling
The standard: R2 Responsible Recycling, RIOS, and e-Stewards, together with the ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 environmental, health and safety management systems the recycling standards depend on.
What QRC did: Focus Material tracking and downstream due-diligence documentation, equipment reuse and testing records, and the underlying environmental, health and safety management system required for certification.
The outcome: Electronics recyclers certified and able to evidence the legality of imports, exports, and downstream material movements.
