Bernhard Bals | Engineering • Quality • Management • Culture

Bernhard Bals EQMC Consulting supports aerospace organizations under growth, complexity and regulatory pressure — where every function works competently, but their interaction loses its coordination.

We work with New Space ventures, scale-ups, SMEs and aerospace-adjacent organizations cooperating with established space organizations such as ESA, DLR and Primes.

——— Offerings ———

▪ New Space Product Assurance — tailored Product Assurance Plans (4 weeks), Milestone Review Support (3 months), Full Product Assurance Support (remote or on site).

▪ ECSS-Tailored Quality and Compliance — ECSS-Tailoring as a pragmatic compliance lever. Real space practice, not certification routine. ISO 9001 and EN 9100 addressed where formally required.

▪ Scalable Engineering Organizations — structural work on the interfaces between Engineering, Product Assurance, Project Management and Quality Management. So that organizations carry their own effectiveness when the engagement ends.

——— Background ———

——— Approach ———

Diagnosis before solution. Engineering credibility as a prerequisite, not a marketing claim. We do not promise what cannot be delivered and verified in practice.
