Dr.-Ing. Hashem Badra
More than 30 years of experience in production, plant engineering and teaching – including at KIT Karlsruhe. As a project manager and quality management representative I went through certification audits from the company side for years, and I know what matters.
TÜV-certified as quality auditor, quality manager, QM representative, Six Sigma Black Belt and Lean Six Sigma Expert. Consulting and audits in German and English.
“A QM system has to serve the company – not the other way round. As little documentation as possible, as much as necessary.”
Top client questions
What does ISO 9001 consulting cost?
It depends on company size and the maturity of your QM system. After a free initial call you receive a transparent fixed-price or day-rate offer – with no hidden costs.
How long does it take to get certified?
Typically 3–6 months from the gap analysis to the certification audit, depending on your starting point and internal capacity.
Do you carry out the certification audit yourself?
Certification is issued by an accredited certification body. I prepare you, run internal audits and support you throughout the external audit.
Are consulting and audits possible remotely?
Yes – many services (document review, training, parts of audits) can be delivered remotely. On-site appointments take place throughout Germany.
Do you also audit in English?
Yes. Consulting, training and audits are available in German and English – an advantage for international sites and suppliers.
