Reviews / Votes
"International standards, whilst often being strongly debated and questioned as to the value, are important ingredients in delivering and maintaining internationally recognised excellence for customers and consumers and competitive advantages for the organisation. Nick and Tegwin bring together information on ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 into a readable form for students and practitioners. In doing so, this book will contribute to achieving excellence in design and manufacturing." * Pauline Found, Professor of Lean Operations Management, University of Buckingha *More details
