ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE.A PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Ammar Mahdi
Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Six Sigma Global InstituteBuilds AI-assisted quality toolsTechnical depth.
A hands-on approach to improvement.
Ammar brings more than 17 years of experience across engineering, quality, and operational improvement. His background spans medical devices, automotive, aerospace, and precision manufacturing.
His work connects the production floor with the systems that support it: investigating recurring defects, strengthening supplier performance, developing process controls, and helping teams turn corrective actions into consistent ways of working. He combines structured problem solving with practical training, clear standards, and collaboration across engineering, operations, and quality.
At SolveXa, Ammar brings that perspective to each engagement—understanding the work first, identifying what is holding performance back, and building improvements that people can apply and sustain.
Alongside consulting, Ammar designs and builds software for quality and operations work: equipment qualification and CAPA decision support, ISO 9001 audit-readiness scoring, a plant improvement platform with its own simulation engine, Six Sigma belt training, and the workflow automation that runs SolveXa itself. AI assists with drafting and analysis; every number and every decision stays with ordinary code and a named person.

What does SolveXa Consulting do?
SolveXa Consulting LLC is a Hartford, Connecticut consultancy for small and midsized manufacturers. It helps them build and maintain quality management systems to ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and IATF 16949, prepare for certification and surveillance audits, and solve recurring performance problems such as rework, delays, and variation with Lean Six Sigma methods. Engagements run on site across Connecticut and New England, with remote reviews and coaching between visits.
How does Ammar work?
He starts on the floor, not in the conference room. Every engagement begins with understanding how the work actually happens, then compares that with what the procedures and the customer requirements say. Findings are written against evidence, ranked by risk, and turned into a roadmap with owners. Procedures are written for your operation rather than lifted from a template library, and the people who run the process review and approve them. The aim is a system your team runs after SolveXa leaves. Two projects from his earlier employment show the pattern: a validated change that cut the total cost of poor quality by more than 70 percent in automotive heat treatment, and one-piece flow that cut the case interval by 44 percent in medical devices.
What will SolveXa not claim?
That certification is guaranteed: an independent certification body decides, and its fees are separate. That a result will repeat: the case-study numbers were measured in those plants, in those years, and yours will be measured in yours. That more documentation is better: ISO 9001:2015 asks for documented information where it adds control, and a thinner system that people follow audits better than a thick one they ignore.
How do you start?
With a free 20-minute discovery call to establish fit and the right starting point. From there, a paid Focused Assessment & Improvement Roadmap gives you findings and a plan you own. The services page describes each engagement, and the ISO 9001 consulting page covers quality-system work in detail.
