How “Quality” is applied within organizations is evolving. A quality management system needs to focus on how an organization operates day-to-day to deliver business objectives in an effective way.
This fully updated three-book series reflects the ISO 9001:2008 revisions and current learning on key issues. It sets out the practical steps needed to build a sustainable, scalable and business-focused process-based management system, which it places at the heart of the organization.
By helping to understand the risks to an organization’s continued performance, and by feeding this information back in to the management system, this series enables business processes to be a solid foundation for whatever the future might hold.
