ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 Lead Auditor

Twenty-five years of finding what your last audit missed.

I run independent quality, environmental, and supplier-process audits for manufacturing plants that need a straight answer before their next accredited certification — not a dashboard.

Auditor Service Profile

Three ways I get involved before you fail an audit.

Every engagement ends in a scored, written deliverable — not a verbal opinion. You get something your certification body, your customer, or your own leadership can act on.

Custom System Gaps Audit

A full-scope, independent review of your existing QMS or EMS against the standard you're certifying to — before an external auditor finds the gap for you.

Supplier Process Audit

On-site assessment of a supplier's process and product controls — for teams who need to know a Tier-N supplier can hold quality before it becomes your problem.

DeliverableSupplier process feasibility report

Environmental Aspects Audit

Identification and audit of significant environmental aspects, built into daily shop-floor checklists rather than a binder no one opens after certification.

Project Delivery Board

The six-phase route to certification readiness.

From first gemba walk to accredited certification — this is the same sequence I run on every engagement, and the same one your certification body will expect to see evidence of.

Gap Analysis & Process Scoping

1–2 weeks

Gemba walks, cross-functional interviews, and a formal gap analysis report scoped against the target standard. Output: gap analysis matrix + compliance backlog.

Documentation & SOP Build

2–4 weeks

Close the paperwork gaps found in Phase 1 — procedures, work instructions, and records aligned to the clauses that will be sampled at audit.

Internal Audit Cycle

4–6 weeks

Full internal audit program run against the new system, generating real non-conformities before an accredited auditor does.

Corrective Action & Verification

1–2 weeks

CAPA and 8D root-cause closure on every finding, with objective evidence attached — the piece most first-time applicants underestimate.

Mock Certification Audit

1–2 weeks

A dry run of the real audit, including lead-auditor defense coaching for whoever will face the registrar.

Ongoing Engagement

Continuous

Surveillance-audit support and continuous improvement review between certification cycles.

Gap Analyzer

Score your own audit readiness in seven categories before you call anyone.

A self-scored maturity check against ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 clauses — the same categories I sample first on a real gap audit. Takes about ten minutes on the shop floor.

Clause 4–6 · Context, Leadership & Planning
Clause 7–8 · Support & Operational Controls
Clause 9–10 · Performance Evaluation & CAPA

Voicu prepared our shop floor for an advanced automotive compliance audit. His command of the core tools — PFMEA, SPC, control plans — got us through with zero major non-conformities on the first attempt.
