Proudly Veteran-Owned & Operated • AS9100 & ISO 9001 Digital Quality Infrastructure
I build and maintain audit-ready QMS frameworks for aerospace and regulated manufacturers on a fractional retainer.
FIST QMS designs and deploys lean, high-visibility digital quality infrastructure specifically tailored for small-to-medium manufacturers. Founded and operated with the discipline and precision of the United States Army, we focus on eliminating the administrative bloat often associated with ISO 9001 compliance and AS9100 certification frameworks.
We replace traditional, paper-based compliance binders with interactive data visualization and dynamic digital documentation. By effectively bridging the gap between shop floor execution and executive strategy, we establish a stable, scalable quality management system where precision is standard and audit-readiness is automatic.
