Genesis Plastics Welding, a Fortville-based contract manufacturer, is pleased to announce the addition of Jeff Hummel as quality manager to oversee, maintain and improve the company’s quality management systems. As a quality assurance manager with nationally recognized certifications and a Six Sigma green belt, Hummel brings to Genesis 20 years of experience in ensuring efficient quality processes that uphold strict standards throughout various industries.
“Our quality system is the foundation of Genesis’ success in meeting or exceeding our client’s strict industry regulations,” says Tom Ryder, CEO and president of Genesis Plastics Welding, which specializes in radio frequency (RF) welding and heat sealing applications of plastic products for customers in the military and medical industries. “Jeff’s role is critical not only in empowering employees at all levels of our organization to be actively responsible for continuous quality improvement, but also in serving as a responsive liaison to our customers. He will ensure compliance and quality at every step – from prototyping and product engineering through production and final inspection.”
With degrees in mechanical engineering and industrial management from Purdue University, Hummel is responsible for establishing and managing all of the company’s quality planning and product release programs for materials, components, processes and finished goods. He formulates and implements the policies and procedures necessary to ensure that Genesis, as well as its suppliers, meet each customer’s expectations and satisfy regulatory requirements, such as ISO 13485 and FDA regulations.
Prior to joining Genesis, Hummel worked a small Indiana biotech company to implement a quality management and production system. Prior to that assignment, he worked in quality management roles at two of the world’s largest medical device companies. Hummel is a member of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation and the American Society for Quality.
