Product Description

Review
"'The big advantage of the book (and the Example Quality Manual) is that it contains all the information to which small and medium enterprises need to have access... The book can be recommended to small and medium-size companies.' Dr. Michael Parkany DIGART International Ltd. Geneva When my company first thought about the value of having an accreditation we were feeling a bit nervous of the costs and implications. Ray Tricker has put together a mini bible for us, it is clear and concise and not only talks about the standard it helps you understand how to apply the methods and what to expect. Janet Underwood, Manchester (writing on Amazon.com) 'For companies wishing to save money, I have no hesitation in recommending this book, it is an absolute lifesaver!' Richard Chemaid on Amazon.com 'I just want to thank you for the precision and clarity of your writings. I now have been through your book, and while Ive been around quality since Deming and Juran were teaching their own seminars, this is the best writing Ive seen about ISO. Great JoB!!' Ken Pipke

Product Description
Review of previous edition: This will be of particular importance to companies that act as suppliers to larger multinational organisations, whose original specifications may not translate readily into local practice. Quality Today Small and medium-sized companies face many challenges today; not least that their larger institutional and multinational customers make demands that are difficult to meet for an organisation with limited resources. One such demand is ISO 9000 compliance. Fully revised and updated, ISO 9001: 2000 for Small Businesses explains the new requirements of ISO 9001: 2000 and helps businesses draw up a quality plan that will allow them to meet the challenges of the market place. For engineers and managers in small and medium sized companies, and also in service industries and user groups, the text will serve as a essential guide to the most important new developments in quality assurance.

Wherever you go nowadays, it seems that you are always hearing the word 'quality' especially in relation to the requirements of 'ISO 9000', but even though these have become everyday words, they are often misused, misquoted and misunderstood. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars An example says it all, 15 Oct 2002
By MR G J DIAPER (Leamington Spa, Warks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I wanted to know more about 9001 - I hoped to introduce a QMS to our company. This book covered all the stuff that you would expect, but 2 things really made it shine. 1. It reassured me that the emphasis is on using a quality system and not on getting a certification - you can use it and get the benefits better if you don't aim for certification. 2. It actually provided an example - bow down all you other books on quality systems! It is a simple exercise to bang on about what iso9001 want to do but different to actually implement it - I think that if you can't get an example, you never fully understand what they are talking about. Ray gives a complete example of a Quality system for you to adapt to your own org. Wonderfull. I wanted a clear example & didn't want a big academic rewrite of the manual - do you?

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference for those wanting to implement a QMS, 13 Aug 2001
I had worked with the previous version of the standard and needed to upgrade my knowledge. This book not only gave me an insight into the requirements of the new standard - in user friendly terms - but also the author made himself accessible to answer any queries, as well as providing extensive samples. A more complete service would be hard to imagine! Congratulations Mr Tricker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very comprehensive, 17 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This book has been invaluable during my post-graduate studies, it has been a cornerstone in my understanding of Quality. I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone wishing to further their knowledge of ISO 9001 or implement a QMS in a practical environment.
