About Adapt Management Consulting

Adapt Management Consulting helps companies build quality systems that match how they actually work. We implement, audit, and improve ISO management systems for manufacturers and service organizations that need certification, a cleaner internal audit program, or a practical path to fewer defects and fewer surprises from the registrar.

We are based in Sullivan, WI 53178 and work onsite or virtually across Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Led by Chris Unke

Adapt is led by Chris Unke. Chris brings more than 26 years of business experience to each engagement. He starts with how your plant or office really runs—not with a generic binder—and builds a custom plan around your people, processes, customers, and budget.

No two management teams are the same. That is why the work is adapted: scope, pace, onsite versus virtual time, and which procedures get rewritten first all depend on your risks and your certification timeline.

What We Do

Clients hire Adapt when they are short-handed, preparing for a certification or surveillance audit, or tired of an internal audit program that looks complete on paper and fails in the field.

  • ISO 9001 quality management system implementation and improvement
  • ISO 13485 medical device quality systems, including accelerated programs when you already hold ISO 9001
  • ISO 14001 environmental management and Wisconsin Green Tier support
  • ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management
  • AS9100 aerospace quality management
  • IATF 16949 automotive quality management
  • Outsourced internal audits with clear findings and corrective-action support
  • Virtual and hybrid consulting so travel cost does not drive the project

The goal is not a thicker manual. The goal is a system your team can follow, an audit trail a registrar can verify, and process changes that cut waste and customer complaints.

How Adapt Works

  1. Listen first. We review your current certification status, recent findings, processes, and constraints.
  2. Fit the plan to you. Implementation, gap work, or audit support is scoped to your standard, sites, and calendar.
  3. Use the format that saves money. Onsite, virtual, or hybrid—whichever keeps the work moving without extra travel.
  4. Leave you with owners, not just files. Procedures, records, and CAPAs need names and due dates, not only templates.
  5. Stay available after the binder is done. Surveillance years and recurring internal audits are where systems usually slip.

Why Companies Choose Adapt

  • Custom strategies. Fresh eyes on your operation instead of a one-size-fits-all kit.
  • Flexibility. We work around production schedules and lean quality staff.
  • Cost control. Virtual options and focused scope keep the project from becoming an open-ended retainer.
  • Audit reality. Internal audits are planned, evidenced, reported, and followed up so they hold up in an external audit.
  • Regional reach. Midwest companies can get help without flying in a national firm for every visit.
