International standards ensure that organisations operate the right processes to support their objectives. International Standards for Design and Manufacturing is an accessible guide for manufacturing and production managers and students. It guides readers through the standards needed to build operating systems which are robust, integrated and used to drive the continuous improvement of business performance.
International Standards for Design and Manufacturing is based on many years of research collaboration between Swansea University and leading manufacturing and production practitioners from key companies from around the world. Each chapter includes an introduction to the standards being discussed, definitions, examples of using the standards in practice, why these standards are important, conclusions, seminar topics and mock exam questions to allow the reader to test their knowledge and understanding.

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
