Abstract: A method for standards registrars to improve customer service includes value-added auditing (100) in which auditors describe at least two opportunities for improvement (104) to the client or customer seeking registration. This approach is superior to the previous auditing strategies in which the auditors simply listed nonconformities and required the customer to submit corrective actions. In addition, the present invention includes a method for recruitment and training of a registrar's sales force (120) that draws from a larger pool of candidates than traditional approaches by recruiting sales professionals and training them in technical or engineering principles (124) necessary to facilitate quality audits. The present invention also includes a scope extension process (130) for registrar's to expand their scope of accreditation through the use of industry training modules.

Abstract: A methodology for standards registrars to meet requirements of governmental accrediting agencies includes a unique set of procedures and work instructions for certifying or registering an organization as conforming to one or more national or international standards. The procedures and work instructions assure adherence to the international guidance document government registrars, while providing easily used and maintained instructions for employees. The procedures and work instructions are amenable to translation into various foreign languages. In one embodiment, the methodology includes procedures and work instructions governing the quotation process and scheduling of audits, including selection of auditors, as well as audit package review and issuance of appropriate certificates of compliance are. The procedures and work instructions for all audits and certifications are preferably controlled (150) and directly auditable via a single location or office, such as the registrar's headquarters.

Abstract: A method for achieving registration industrial standards that includes identifying a client's need (12), visiting the client (14), writing a quality procedures and quality manual (16), revisiting the client to update the quality procedures and quality manual and to assist with implementation, scheduling a pre-assessment and registration audit (22) with a quality management system registrar, updating the quality procedures and quality manual based on the pre-assessment and registration audit to ensure conformance to the applicable standard, and monitoring client status to ensure consultants are meeting client needs in an allotted time frame. The method may be tracked with scheduling and project software.

Abstract: A wastewater treatment process that provides improved reduction of total solids through endogenous respiration while reducing biochemical oxygen demand and utilizing biological, nutrient reduction. The wastewater treatment process uses an efficient aeration delivery system to drastically reduce the time needed to oxidize organic matter, and recirculates, shreds, and homogenizes the organic matter and microorganisms and oxygenates the entire mass many more times than traditional systems resulting in a greater biological solids digestion rate.

Abstract: A wastewater treatment process that provides improved reduction of total solids through endogenous respiration while reducing biochemical oxygen demand and utilizing biological nutrient reduction. The wastewater treatment process uses an efficient aeration delivery system to drastically reduce the time needed to oxidize organic matter, and re-circulates, shreds and homogenizes the organic matter and microorganisms and oxygenates the entire mass many more times than traditional systems resulting in a greater biological solids digestion rate.
