Meet Your Professor: Dr. Herschel Clopper
Dr. Herschel Clopper
 
Dr. Herschel Clopper believes that a major factor for an individual's success in any field is the individual's feeling of self-worth and his capability. 
A person's capabilities are increased by education, and self-worth is strengthened by the successful application of acquired knowledge and techniques.  That is why Dr. Clopper enjoys teaching and has such a high regard for the philosophical foundation of the National Graduate School's approach to education, "success you can measure."
 
Dr. Clopper is presently a principal in Clopper Consulting, a consulting company established in 1997 that has helped large and small companies in the field of Quality Business Management.  Clopper Consulting has had success in helping companies significantly improve process yields, implement process adjustments that prevent operator errors, improve and streamline business processes in production and non-production areas, and has reviewed and reconstructed company quality policies and company quality manual.
