Jeffrey Lewis
Jeffrey Lewis, founder of the Single Management System and architect of the OCFR Gemba model, is a leading authority in modern management system integration. With more than two decades of experience implementing and auditing ISO standards, particularly ISO 9001, he identified persistent fragmentation across organizational systems and set out to create a unified approach that strengthens strategic coherence. His work integrates operational insight, financial alignment, and real-time performance visibility into a single synthesized framework.
Single Management System streamlines quality, environmental, safety, IT, and supplier-governance requirements into one unified structure that replaces traditional siloed documentation. It supports aligned strategy development, clarity in ISO configuration, and simplified oversight by consolidating essential processes into a single operational model. Jeffrey is also developing a Paperless 9001 Management System, a simplified derivative of his latest patent that reduces document-heavy implementation burdens.
Using the patented architecture behind his earlier innovations, his model helps organizations shift from clause-based auditing to risk-based and performance-focused coordination. His latest contribution, the patent-pending OCFR Gemba model, introduces AI-supported system integration and embeds financial indicators into routine reviews. Unlike an audit program, it functions as a dynamic AI- and blockchain-enabled system that orchestrates organizational functionality and sustains ongoing conformity, representing a new category of enterprise software and the basis for its patentability.
A Fellow of the Chartered Quality Institute and recipient of the QAI Best of the Best Award, Jeffrey also serves as an IACET-accredited continuing education provider.
