- Book Review,
by Ray Tricker
From Book News, Inc.
ISO 9000 compliance is clearly delineated in this substantially revised version of Tricker's 1997 text, which is designed for engineers and managers of small and medium-sized companies. Tricker (a consultant and author), in accessible language, guides the reader through the basics of ISO 9000, its quality standards and certification and assistance in the UK and US for setting up a Quality Management System. He then describes the structure of ISO 9001:2000, the guidelines for quality control and assurance, all aspects of the Quality Management System, the quality organizational structure, the example quality manual, and self-assessment.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
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.
