The problems we solve

If any of these sound familiar, you are in the right place

  • A certification deadline is approaching faster than the system is maturing
  • The same audit findings keep coming back year after year
  • The internal audit program is weak, late, or not independent
  • Procedures say one thing; the floor does another
  • CAPAs close on paper but problems return
  • Training happens, but effectiveness is never verified
  • Quality is understaffed and stretched across too many roles
  • Quality data lives in disconnected spreadsheets
  • The QMS exists to pass the audit — and does nothing else for the business

ZLG addresses these problems with practical training, independent audits, hands-on implementation, quality software, and staffing — built around how your organization actually works, and measured by operational results rather than certificates on the wall.

What clients say

Trusted by quality leaders

We had eleven months to reach ISO 13485 certification without slowing a production ramp. ZLG sequenced everything backwards from the audit date, and we passed Stage 2 with four weeks to spare.

Operations Manager Medical device contract manufacturer

After three surveillance audits with the same repeat findings, ZLG rebuilt our internal audit program in nine months. The next audit closed with zero majors — and our own team now runs the program with confidence.

Quality Director Aerospace machining supplier

Every exercise used our own procedures and our own findings. I planned and led a real audit two weeks after the course — that never happened with the generic training we tried before.

Quality Engineer Internal Auditor course participant, IATF 16949 supplier

Credentials

Credentials and affiliations

ISO 19011-aligned auditor programs

Internal Auditor and Lead Auditor certifications follow ISO 19011 auditing guidance and industry best practices, with written exams and evaluated audit exercises.

Accredited certification pathway

Through our partnership with KCertification, clients can access accredited third-party certification for ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO 14001 — independent of our consulting role.

Hands-on manufacturing experience

Our consultants come from commercial, medical device, aerospace, automotive, and electronics manufacturing environments — and deliver in English and Español.

Certificate acceptance depends on your customer and certification body requirements. Certification decisions are always made by an independent certification body, never by ZLG.
