Profit Enhancement Group, LLC& (PEG) is comprised of process improvement specialists and quality system professionals who focus on "value added" auditing, consulting, training, and process documentation to help you find cost savings. Why spend money where you don't need to? Keep it as profit instead!

Improvement Assessments

Improvement is the name of the game. Getting more using fewer resources. Providing a better product or service to reduce your costs and increase customer satisfaction and market share. And the ultimate - improvement in profits. Why wait for an economic downturn or for your customer to ask you for a price decrease to find your profit leaks? Our experienced staff will review your company's processes to identify improvement opportunities. Our knowledgebase and toolbox includes such concepts as Lean, Visual Factory, 5S, Poka Yoke, DMAIC, Root Cause Analysis, Data Collection & Analysis, Six Sigma, Kaizan, and much more. Our years of experience will be put to work immediately to provide you with value added feedback indicating where improvements could be made.

Internal Audits

Internal audits require a staff that is well trained in auditing techniques and knowledgeable in effective, improvement and cost reduction methods to provide value added results. Most companies that are certified to QMS Standards use company internal auditors who do internal audits on an as needed basis. Training and conducting audits is such a small amount of their job that they never have time to tune and improve their audit skills. Employees often get promotions, get busier, or may even leave the company. All of these circumstances cause companies to be in a constant internal auditor training mode, leading to ineffective audits costing thousands of dollars each year, which normally are not resulting in a positive ROI. Our experienced, trained staff conduct audits for a living, are well trained, and very knowledgeable about improvement methods and techniques. We all undergo training each year to ensure we continue to improve our knowledge and skills. Every audit we conduct results in opportunities for improvements and/or preventive actions, which will reduce risks, increase customer satisfaction, reduce costs, improve product and service quality, and much more.

Gap Assessments

Before you launch off and spend countless hours on trying to meet QMS Standards (ISO 9001, AS9100, ISO 27001, ISO 13485, TS16949, etc.), company specific requirements, or your customer requirements, let us review your current business processes and practices.

Quality Management System Readiness Assessment / Audit

Want to know if your quality management system is ready for the Registrar, your customer, or regulatory agency? Our experienced staff will provide you with an assessment of your implementation for whatever Standard or requirements you are trying to meet. We provide a written report of strengths and weaknesses including opportunities for improvements and preventive actions that we identify.

QMS Documentation Development, Refinement, and Redevelopment

QMS Documentation Development
We will assist you in developing suitable and effective QMS documentation to satisfy the requirements of QMS Standards such as ISO 9001:2008, AS9100 Rev. C, AS9006, ISO 13485, ISO 28001, 28001, 14001, and 27001, and TS16949. To do this, we will interview your personnel, document the processes, and then put that information in a format to suit your needs. As is always the case, we always keep quality, risk reduction, and cost controls in mind during the process.

QMS Documentation Refinement
Having issues with getting the most out of your documented processes? Often times the documentation doesn't really spell out the process resulting in inconsistent quality and service. We can help you refine the documentation so you get the effective, high quality results that you require.

QMS Documentation Redevelopment
Did your system become unwieldy over the years? Do you have multiple documents that address the same process? Is it hard for employees to find the right documents? This is a common problem that occurs over the years for various reasons. We will be happy to advise you on how to reduce the amount of documents and improve the effectiveness of the ones that are left.

We keep efficiency, effectiveness, and reducing costs as key goals during documentation projects.
