About

We have held multiple job positions over 45 years at four facilities for a Fortune 50 company. I am an ASQ Fellow and recipient of ASQ's Eugene L. Grant Medal. I hold multiple ASQ professional certifications as well as two for people involvement and continuous improvement. Over the years we have graduated more than 9,000 students through our preparatory courses for ASQ certification exams. I also write columns for two magazines. A quarterly column called Workplace for Illinois Business Issues. A monthly column for Quality Magazine called the Face of Quality. I also write a weekly blog for QM called Jim's Gems.
