Gary Jing serves as an Instructor in Engineering Management at the University of St. Thomas while concurrently holding the position of Sr. Quality Manager at Onto Innovation. Formerly a continuous improvement director at CommScope, he brings extensive industry experience to his academic role as a Master Black Belt and Lean Six Sigma deployment leader.
His academic credentials include:
- PhD in Industrial Engineering from the University of Cincinnati
- MBA from Carlson School
Jing's research centers on quality management systems with specialized expertise in Lean Six Sigma optimization, continuous improvement frameworks, and Master Black Belt methodologies. His work bridges industrial engineering principles with practical quality assurance applications, focusing on statistical process control and root cause analysis techniques for defect reduction. He actively contributes to evolving quality standards through real-world problem-solving approaches.
His publication history reveals a consistent trajectory in refining Six Sigma applications, with recent work addressing fundamental flaws in FMEA implementation and measurement repeatability challenges. Jing advocates for contextual customization in quality deployments and stakeholder-centric approaches (VOS over VOC), demonstrating how Lean Six Sigma methodologies adapt to complex industrial environments while maintaining statistical rigor.
Professional recognition includes:
- Fellow of the American Society for Quality (ASQ)
- ASQ-certified Quality Manager
- ASQ-certified Quality Engineer
In his teaching capacity, Jing directs the ETLS 640 Lean Six Sigma course through workshop-style capstone projects that immerse students in real-world problem-solving. His industry leadership extends to ISO Technical Committee 176 where he served as secretary for ISO 9000:2015 development, demonstrating how academic instruction informs international standards creation. The course structure emphasizes immediate tool application over theoretical knowledge, preparing students for quality management certifications.
Through his dual roles at Onto Innovation and St. Thomas, Jing operates within cross-functional quality teams that implement Six Sigma methodologies across manufacturing and engineering contexts. His ISO committee participation reflects ongoing engagement with global quality management networks, while his classroom approach cultivates the next generation of quality practitioners through hands-on project execution.
