The Association of the Railway Industry in Germany (VDB) is one of the birthmothers of the IRIS – certification system. IRIS helps companies to tap the potential that lies in quality and process development and thus also profitability. The founder of the International Competence Centre Rail, who is well known in the association, stands for networked industry competence and independent consulting. Again and again, member companies want to know where they can find qualified and tailor-made information and training on IRIS. With the foundation of the International Competence Centre Rail GmbH, this address should now be available.

Axel Schuppe – Geschäftsführer VDB

“I welcome the foundation of the INTERNATIONAL COMPETENCE CENTRE RAIL. I hold in very high regard Andreas Heinzmann’s excellent competences in the areas of IRIS auditing and the training of IRIS auditors.”

HASLER RAIL in Bern: Mr. Heinzmann has helped us to systematically identify and progressively eliminate our weaknesses. This has resulted in more than 1,000 improvement projects in the last 4 years, which amongst other things has led to the improvement of our risk management and project controlling, but also the introduction of a system to reduce and prevent quality deficiency costs. Mr. Heinzmann has guided us in a highly competent and professional manner to a very practical solution that fully satisfies all our needs. We are convinced that without his support we would have spent much longer dealing with such complex issues and that the cost will amortize in the near future.”
