To Whom it May Concern,RAKU Management Systems has been a key partner as our team continues to improve our overall management systems. John’s ISO expertise and dedication were instrumental in Midrex achieving ISO 45001:2018 certification on a very aggressive timeline. His exceptional organizational skills proved invaluable during the compressed timeframe we faced and we would not have completed our certification without his assistance.
After our initial work with John, he has continued to be a valued partner for our team. John’s real-world experience and strong subject matter expertise in the ISO standards have been pivotal in helping us now maintain certification—not only for 45001, but also for 9001. While these certifications are important, John’s ability to make relationships with our team have allowed us to improve our overall management structure. We will continue to expand our relationship with RAKU as John supports us for an upcoming ISO 27001 certification.
I highly recommend you contact John Abnet of RAKU Management Systems regarding any efforts related to improving your business system. His contributions have been vital to our achievements and the biggest compliment I can give him as that we consider him part of our team. I am confident that John would be an asset to any organization that employs his services.
Best Requires,

- I would like to thank John and RAKU for his professionalism, knowledge, experience and most of all his teamwork. John is a great teammate and is very skilled with quality system management. I had the pleasure of working with John while he was part of our Setex team for several years. While at Setex he built a quality system that is still our guiding system to this day. Recently we needed a resource to come in and audit and consult for us so we reached out to John and RAKU. True to form, John came in and picked things right up as if he still worked here. I honestly cannot say enough good things about John and his expertise, I highly recommend John and his services.

John was very professional. The team was very receptive and open to the Internal audit training. He gave our team an excellent in-depth view of the process and application of internal auditing. He took time to break down our own CSRs and what they mean. Would highly recommend utilizing his expertise!

I work with John during annual surveillance audits of ISO 45001 management system at our US facilities. John helped our company build ISO 45001 management system, over the years, he trained and coached company leadership not only in OHS&E, but also on quality management system, provided various trainings on compliance and leadership. Every communication with John is an interesting and interactive learning process. John’s deep knowledge and vision of manufacturing management is based on his long term international corporate management experience. This gives him a great understanding of efficient operation of OHS&E and quality management systems in various production settings. Our work with John is never limited to the specific audit timeframes. John always makes himself available throughout a year whenever we require his assistance, training, or consulting. It is important to note that John has a unique personality what makes him a great communicator and a team member.

John Abnet is a professional in the field of certification, but also training. I was able to appreciate this in the implementation of a multi-site certification project in Environment – Health and Safety field, that was related to several production plants in North America. The result was excellent with the return of accurate and reliable documents, awareness of Plants employees/managers and, of course, the achievement of certification. The project implementation time was also respected. I believe that John is able to adequately immerse himself in the realities of his customers, interpreting their needs, always providing added value and high quality of services.

John has unmatched knowledge and experience of Quality and Management systems. I worked with John on many projects in his role as Quality Assurance Manager and also had the good fortune of traveling to Japan with him. John always made it obvious from where and who Quality originated in the organization and took pleasure in sharing his knowledge of industry and life experiences with others.

Over the years I have come to know John, I’ve had the opportunity to witness his extensive knowledge of management systems and related tools. He not only knows and understand these systems from his own wide-ranging experiences, but also excels in teaching and mentoring people on how to apply them to benefit their organizations. His guidance is direct and to the point which helps with practical implementation.
