Company Profile

Quantum Associates was founded in 1999 by Willie Carter. After spending over 25 years working for various industrial firms in operation and quality management roles Willie decided to establish his own consulting firm to leverage his skills, knowledge and abilities to help industrial and service firms improve their key business processes -  the heart of organizations - and in turn deliver dramatic improvements in product or service quality and the bottom line.

Our associates have multiple years of experience in the manufacturing and service sectors. Every one of our experts has spent time on the plant floor and in the back office facing-and resolving-the same challenges you face every day. Our associates know, understand and respect the economic prowess of the manufacturing and service industries in the U.S. We are committed to keeping U.S. companies competitive. Our proven four-step approach to business improvement is geared to providing solutions that have the most positive impact for your business, your employees and your customers. We have developed alliances with other consultants to add depth to our consulting team and value for our clients. Some of the benefits you will gain when we deliver a business improvement solution are:

Experience with Clients in various industry sectors (product safety, food processing, pharmaceuticals, automotive, tool and die, retail, non-profits, government, etc.). We can leverage this know-how and experience to help improve your organization.
