Dear Sir / Madam:

I am ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), presently working as an independent consultant for various medical device companies. Formerly, I was governing Quality Management System (QMS) at BLICKMAN Health Industry, Clifton, New Jersey as a Director, Design-Quality Assurance Engineering and Technical services as well as an appointed Management Representative. All along, I am very much involved with high precision, high volume complex component/assembly manufacturing for Aerospace, Defense, and Automotive Industries so as special/dedicated machine building for communication and Medical Device manufactures. My major responsibilities includes: Quality system institution, Contract review, design review, build prototype, design verification, product evaluation in terms of manufacturability (DFM), Advance Quality Planning, Selection and use of applicable QA Standards, Internal Audit, Continuous Improvement, Training, Corrective Action, and Preventive Action. In addition, I am also responsible for process validation in order to ensure that a specific process or an equipment will consistently produce a product meeting its predetermined specifications and quality attributes using Statistical Process Control and validation techniques such as DQ,IQ,OQ,PQ,MQ.

Employing knowledge base applications and implementing unique procedures, we have succeeded in reducing production “X” hours by eliminating unnecessary papers bung and yet comply with ISO/AS/QS/FDA/EPA/OSHA requirements. We were able to derive quality concept “MAKE IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME” from inspection room to the manufacturing floor through close coordination engineering. I fervently believe that quality needs to be built in to design and to production processes. With the concept of Total Quality Management providing Dock-to-Stock products, we succeeded in accomplishing the preferred/certified supplier status for the major Aerospace, Defense, Automotive, and Medical Device companies/distributors. I will highly appreciate, if you will consider me for this opportunity and arrange for an interview.

Sincerely,

Pragnesh Desai
