systems and a need in the industry.<\/p><p>Mike has a BS in Manufacturing Engineering Technology as well as a Masters in Technology from Kent State University.<\/p><p>Mike received his Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) in 2019, his dissertation topic was \u201cBest Practices for Remote System Audits\u201d.<\/p><p>Mike began his career as a product development engineer for Luk Incorporated in Wooster Ohio in 1985. His initial role involved reliability engineering, warranty analysis and design development. He was responsible for the test laboratory and conducted in vehicle performance tests in order to dial in key design parameters.<\/p><p>Based on a strong background in product performance, designed experiments and laboratory systems, Mike was moved to the quality department not knowing what the future would hold. Mike became the designated audit contact for the four primary customers, Ford, Chrysler, GM and BMW. Through trial and error, he developed a quality system to meet all of the requirements. He also passed the ASQ CQE Certified Quality Engineer exam.<\/p><p>in 1990 Mike Left LuK for a position as the Corporate Quality Manager for a rubber and plastics company based out of Cleveland Ohio Robin Industries. Mike lead Robin to the Ford Q1 and GM Targets for Excellence for several divisions. At that time, ISO 9001 was only a few years old and had not become popular in the US. Mike used the ISO 9001 model to build a quality system which met the automotive, medical, military and aerospace industries, of which Robin served. As the corporate manager, Mike supervised Quality management within each of the 7 facilities and aided with audits as well as customer issues.<\/p><p>In 1993, Mike returned to LuK as the Purchasing Manager, responsible for supplier development and contact negotiations. He became a certified Lead Assessor for ISO 9001 in 1994. Eventually Mike took over the quality department as well and helped lead LuK to QS 9000 certification.<\/p><p>In 1996, while still working at LuK, Mike started Quality Innovations. He worked part time for several months until he could hire his replacement, who remains in this position at LuK. In late 1996 Mike struck out on his own and at the same time became a certified lead assessor for QS-9000, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 as well as an RAB certified lead assessor.<\/p><p>Mike is also a certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt and a Certified Project Manager.<\/p><p>Mike is the only full time employee of Quality Innovations, we will occasionally subcontract work but we feel it is important that you get the best experience each time, rather than someone with less experience..<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Mike Gospodinsky-President Dr. Mike Gospodinsky-President Michael Gospodinsky founded Quality Innovations in 1996 based on a strong background in management systems and a need in the industry.
