About Bart

‘You are the first quality visionary I've heard explaining it in an understandable way’ has to be the best compliment I've ever received, and even then from a fellow consultant.


From lab assistant to group quality director, I earned my quality stripes over 30 years in international food companies. Now I use my experience, knowledge and expertise to help companies towards sustainable quality management.


Your quality management system is the starting point to give it an upgrade, and make it work for you instead of the other way around. This can be done on a project basis or as an interim quality manager.


Furthermore, with Vlitix we also conduct supplier audits, independent of any GFSI certificate or certification body: we represent you to your suppliers!

Experience

  • Vlitix
    Founder/CEO
    AGRICULTURE
    October 2015 - Today (10 years and 10 months)
    Vosselaar, AN, Belgium
    After moving from one level within a quality organisation to the next one, I started Vlitix. For Quality professionals I want to be the person I wanted to have next to me during that journey. A sparring partner who gives advice and guidance in becoming an even better quality person. Companies can make use of the extensive knowledge and experience of myself and team members to improve quality in all its aspects. We always start from what is already available in the organization: we don't take standard procedures and documents off the shelf and force them to our clients. We keep what is working, we upgrade what can be improved and we give advice on missing parts of the system: in this way we create a quality system owned by our customer. The less and shorter we have to be with a company, the better: it means that we have done a good job and the implementation went well. You want to have the same experience? Contact me: [email protected] PS: conducting independent supplier audits that are valuable for you and your suppliers is one of our other services. Currently only available in EMEA region.
