Roderick A. Munro

Roderick Munro has given more than 190 professional presentations, published more than 125 articles and, almost 10 years to the day after joining the American Society for Quality (ASQ), he became an ASQ fellow.

Today, Munro is a business improvement coach and president of RAM Q Universe (Reno, NV), a business he started in 2001. RAM Q Universe is a consulting organization that specializes in working with automotive suppliers for quality problem solving, automotive core tools, training and deployment on the shop floor, Six Sigma, and plant auditing for TS 16949: 2002.

Munro tries to incorporate quality in all aspects of his life. “How do I continually improve what I do, day by day?” Munro says. “That’s kind of been the focus of my life—how can I improve a little bit every day? You’ve got to at least think about how to apply all these tools.”

The inaugural Quality Professional of the Year, Roderick A. Munro, Ph.D., of Northport, MI, has focused on quality throughout his life. He has notes from 15 years ago listing his goals of getting his Ph.D. and becoming an ASQ fellow. And, although it took 13 drafts before Munro was approved for his Ph.D., he has achieved both goals.
