2004 – 2005: Director Quality Assurance, Corporate
Corporate Quality Standard-
Responsible for the conceptualization, design, and implementation planning of a Corporate-level
Quality system, to be used in all Oceaneering divisions. System is centered on satisfying Customer
requirements and Continuous Improvement principles. The requirements would be disseminated from
the executive level, allowing all groups to understand the corporate expectations for product quality,
continuous improvement of processes, and performance improvement. The corporate quality standard is
designed to meet or exceed the requirements of external certification groups.
Management and Process Audits-
Designed and performed a series of divisional audits, concentrating on management style,
communication effectiveness, continuous process improvement, and personnel training and competency.
Results of audits were documented to management in the context of “strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, threats” with reference to each system, the management team, and job-level processes.
Identified areas of weaknesses and opportunities for improvement were approached with reference to
available company tools and enterprise-wide systems.
Standardized Systems for Oceaneering Quality departments worldwide-
Assisted divisions in taking advantage of available electronic systems, and helped to assimilate NCR
and audit reporting systems into the available enterprise-wide PLM environment. Wrote the capability
specification for use in the programming of the NCR object within the PLM system, and helped to
prepare user-training materials for the rollout of the system.
Supplier Ratings System for use in PeopleSoft implementation-
Coordinated with PeopleSoft implementation team to design a Supplier Rating system, for integration
within the PeopleSoft supplier master object. Drafted the specification for use in the implementation of
the supplier module that would allow the PeopleSoft Address Book to be used as the Approved Supplier
List for Oceaneering divisions worldwide. Ratings hinged on “Delivered Quality”, not ISO-rating
(although ISO status is noted), and included supplier product codes (for use in supplier audit systems),
and information on method used for initial supplier audit and approval. Coordinated with PLM system
team to allow supplier audit records to be vaulted within the enterprise-wide system, making all supplier
audit and approval records available to all groups and locations.
