Testimonials

Just wanted to thank John Abnet of RAKU Management Systems for two days of ISO 9001:2015 and 45001:2018 Internal Auditor Training. I’ve received excellent feedback from those in attendance. The mix of your knowledge of the Standards, materials provided, allowing us to use our “real life” situations and the role playing gave everyone valuable knowledge, practical insight and experience while keeping the sessions interesting.
If anyone is looking for ISO training or help with preparing for ISO certification (John just helped us prepare for ISO 45001 certification), I highly recommend you contact John.

Multi-site Environmental, Health and Safety Manager at Agrati Group

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.

Mat Samson

Partner Manager- VKS

“John of Raku Management Systems was a tremendous assist to our company. He has been instrumental in helping us accomplish our objectives by evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control and all of it’s governance processes. His insight and recommendations of the IATF standards are remarkable. I gained a lot of insight that I will carry thru life into the QMS realm.”

Amy Paseur

Management Systems Coordinator

My relationship with John extends back to 2001. John was my QE extraordinaire in calm and chaos, which allowed me intimate knowledge of his problem solving skills and the depth and detail he applied these skills to assure efficient and robust solutions. Though Quality Systems and the support functions necessary for such systems is John’s passion now, his manufacturing experience gained in the “trenches” has nurtured his integration of system-based solutions to complex environments in order to optimize problem recurrence prevention. As importantly, John’s positive attitude and likeable personality allows him to affect positive change in any environment without coming across as condescending….an attribute that has been learned through years of working with OEMs on a Tier 1 basis.

John!

Wanted to touch base with you about our 2 day, 2 auditor transition audit. We passed …! We did have a minor NC but it was an engineering thing not a systems thing. It rolled in very nicely and was accepted by the registrar without any issues. Thank you again for transitioning our QMS for us. Awesome job!
