About
Richard C. Randall
(Based in Texas – RRBG, Inc. Founder & President)
Originally from Toccoa, GA, Richard C. Randall comes from a family of entrepreneurs; and is passionate about helping businesses succeed.
After graduating with honors from “North Georgia Technical College”, where he earned a degree in “Electronic Technology”, he accepted a position with General Electric Co. and re-located to Norcross, Georgia. Upon being promoted to the position of “National Quality Manager”, overseeing 20 GE Electronic Services calibration and repair centers, Randall directed all of these facilities through ISO 9002:1987 registration by NQA-USA .
Randall left General Electric, Co. in May 1993, accepting the position of “Southeast Regional Director” for NQA-USA (one of the largest Certification Bodies in the USA). In August of 1995, he left NQA-USA to form his own business offering quality systems auditing and quality management consulting services. That same year, his book “Randall’s Practical Guide to ISO 9000” was published as part of the Prentice-Hall “Professional Technical Reference“ library.
Initially a IRCA certified “QMS Principal Auditor”, Randall is now a Probitas Authentication certified “Aerospace Auditor” Certification Number: 1619032756. Randall has performed over 2,000 quality management system audits for Certification Bodies including: ABS Quality Evaluations, Intertek, NQA-USA, Platinum Registration, Perry Johnson Registrars, Smithers Quality Assessments, STR-R/UL & VCA North America.
Utilizing his experience in the metrology (calibration) industry, Randall has also performed ISO 17025 Calibration Laboratory Accreditation audits for A2LA (American Association for Laboratory Accreditation) and ACLASS (Assured Calibration Laboratory Accreditation Select Services); which was later purchased by ANAB. In addition, Randall has also performed ISO 17020 Inspection Body audits for ACLASS.
While performing audits, Randall recognized that most micro, small and medium sized businesses cannot justify the expense of hiring a full-time Quality Assurance Professional with experience in the Certification process. To address this need, he formed RRBG, Inc. and assembled a team of experienced, proven, top-tier quality professionals that these businesses can contract on a part-time, as-needed basis to implement a QMS (ISO 9001, AS91xx or ISO 13485) or Information Security Standard (ISO 27001), support the Certification process as the company’s “Quality Specialist” and maintain that certification for as long as the company needs.
