Testimonials

Elaine has been instrumental in helping Sapphire Engineering prepare for our ISO9001:2000 registration audit. We had a very aggressive schedule and Elaine kept us on track with our plan. One of the major milestones was to have a successful documentation review and we did. Elaine’s coaching on Internal Auditing as well as Management Responsibility was also instrumental in our successful completion of this major program. Our Quality Management System stood the test of the ISO9001:2000 registration audit and, in just over 7 months, on March 20, 2008, Sapphire Engineering received ISO9001:2000 registration.

RAMP not only has the knowledge and expertise – they also possess the attitude that made what is usually a painful, intimidating process, an enjoyable one. Without Elaine, we would’ve struggled through the surveillance audit. Prior to hiring her company, we failed our registration audit miserably. We had a short window of opportunity to obtain registration due to a customer request and our external auditor thought that with the shape we were in during our initial audit, the 4 months we had to recover was literally impossible. Well we believed in Elaine and she came through. We have now achieved our recommendation for AS9100 certification. She was thorough, professional and very assertive. Also very pleasant and enjoyable to work with.

THANKS RAMP and ELAINE we couldn’t have done it without you.

To whom it may concern,

After a change in quality managers at ProFlow, we contracted with Ramp Enterprises/Elaine Rampone to assist us in training our new quality manager and to streamline our quality system.

Elaine displays a very strong grasp of quality management concepts and principles as well as the ability to apply these principles to practical applications in a small manufacturing business. Elaine is organized, professional and conscientious. Elaine’s experience and persistence with our auditor training program was invaluable in keeping our quality management system focused and on track.

I strongly feel that Elaine’s talents and abilities would be an asset to any organizations quality management system.

As an ISO 9000-2001 registered company, Flight Services Group, Inc. needs to actively and effectively monitor our Corrective Action system. This process is an integral part of the continuing improvement of our management systems. Being able to easily capture and then track the progress being made on the issues we have identified as central to this improvement is essential to a lean corporate model such as ours.

The Corrective Action System database designed and maintained by RAMP Enterprises is the tool that we have chosen to assist us with this important task. Robert Frost, as the facilitator of our system has completely endorsed this robust and fully interactive tool for any company that is serious about effectively managing the information contained in their own Corrective Action process.

We can easily add and modify Corrective Action records, whenever and wherever we need to given the web-based set up. It is simple to create, distribute and print reports that actively track the status of these records. The system also automatically generates an electronic ‘paper trail’ for process owners so that they can stay focused on their goals. It is a very complete package that at a minimum has saved us hours of work each and every week. However, the biggest benefit is how much more efficient our entire organization has become as we work through the ISO process using Ramp Enterprises’ Corrective Action System as a guide.

Sincerely,

Chromalloy Connecticut is deeply indebted to Elaine Rampone for her professional assistance in our attaining both our ISO 9001:2000 upgrade and our AS9100 approval status. Prior to hearing about Ramp Enterprises we were uncertain we would be able to accomplish these goals before our deadlines. Elaine’s experience in, and deep knowledge of, the Aerospace industry made the transitions almost painless. Elaine ensured that all members of CCT’s management and internal auditing teams were well trained and motivated to follow through on all the hard work that comes with being ISO or AS certified. We would recommend Elaine Rampone’s professional services to any company that endeavors to have and maintain an effective Quality System.

If you are pulling your hair out with this new certification requirement, if you are unsure where to start or what to improve, you do not need to fret any longer. Elaine Penta Rampone of Ramp Enterprises, LLC is all you need! We were first introduced to Elaine in September of 2000. At the time we were lost and unsure that we would make our goal of ISO 9001:1994 certification by December 2000. Elaine not only kept us on schedule, which enabled us to keep our deadline, she also had the experience and knowledge needed to enabled us to get zero deviations! We used her services again to upgrade our system to the new 9001:2000 standards this past November and again received zero deviations on our new certificate obtained in January of 2003! I highly recommend Elaine and RAMP Enterprises, LLC for your certification!

In November 1999, Kingswood made a committment to pursue ISO 9001 certification. Ramp was highly recommended to us by one of our customers. In the ensuing weeks, Elaine presented her schedule of training, along with her plan for us to accomplish certification. From her initial presentation to completion of our goal, Elaine kept the program on course with her professional direction, knowledge of the subject, teaching skills, and her exuberant pleasant persona. I would highly recommend Elaine and her company to all of my collegues.

Vascular Technology contracted with RAMP to prepare us for certification to ISO 9001. The services provided to VTI were both on-time and on-budget. Throughout the process, Elaine insured that her services would not interrupt our day to day business. What we ended up with is a system that truly works for our small company and a recommendation for certification on our first audit.

Prior to being referred to RAMP Enterprises, Proton had been moving our internal systems toward ISO registration without a lot of focus or enthusiasm. Elaine was able to come in and energize the effort. She relates extremely well to all levels in the organization and is able to thoroughly explain the standards and properly guide personnel in developing processes and documentation that fit our way of doing business. After our successful registration in July of 2000, Proton has continued to utilize the services of RAMP Enterprises to strengthen and support our quality system.

Before signing on with Elaine Rampone, I was lost and not sure I would get my company certified by December 2000. Thanks to her hours of help and assistance, I was able to beat my deadline and without any deviations! I would highly recommend Elaine to anyone getting ISO certified. She has a way of making it less frustrating and almost fun.
