“John Blankensop was very professional and insightful. John’s ability to interact with every level of the organization is a tremendous strength”.
“Our auditor for this date was by far the most knowledgeable of any we have had in the past. I believe if all auditors were held to this standard, there would be less confusion or misinterpretation of the standard and how it can and should work for each individual business”.
“John was very professional and to the point. We reviewed our entire QMS scope and found opportunities for improvements that, when achieved, will make us a better organization”.
“Our auditor did a very thorough audit of our company and I am confident going forward that we have a First-Rate quality management system”.
“Mr John Blankensop is a highly skilled auditor. His ability, experience knowledge of quality surpasses previous auditors by several magnitudes. I am actually looking forward in our next audit with him”.
“It was a great pleasure to work with John Blankensop. His knowledge, patients, expertise was a breath of fresh air. We would very much prefer to work with him again on our next audit”.
“This audit was the first time we had an auditor who communicated in a way that was understandable for our entire team, and capable of clearing up mistaken ideas from past audits to help us refocus on the areas we need improvement”.
While at Harley-Davidson Motor Company John was a strong leader, coach, and mentor. His knowledge of quality systems was second to none as he brought world class quality practices to the organization. All those strengths combined enabled John to successfully lead the implementation of QMS across the entire corporation. Truly having a big impact on the business.
John was hired by JLG Industries, Inc to bring the corporation to much higher levels of Quality. In a short period he led a virtual revolution in Quality and excited initiatives in facilities throughout the world. He is with a doubt one of the finest Quality Leaders I have had the honor to work with.
John and I worked together in the Quality Organization for Kaman Aerospace. John worked as the Corporate Quality Director and chaired the Corporate Quality Council across the organization. His prior experience as a Senior Quality Executive quickly gained him the respect as a sound quality leader/authority across the organization. His knowledge of the AS9100 standard and the creation of our Interaction of Processes model as we began our transition to revision D of the AS9100 standard was leading edge. John as Chairman of the Corporate Quality Council lead us to standardized procedures, policies, and initiatives that we continue to use as the benchmark for all our businesses within Kaman. I truly enjoyed working with John and look forward to collaborating with him on any project if he so desires.
