This book deals with the anatomy, diagnosis and inside story of ISO 9001:2015 — which leads to its rather self-explanatory name. Just as one dissects the anatomy of a living organism, the book dives into and separates each clause, sub-clause and sub-sub-clause, before focusing on the diagnosis of each. It also seeks to tell the readers about the inside story of ISO 9001:2015 which will be helpful for industries, organisations, entrepreneurs, proprietors, auditors (internal and external), consultants working in this area of ISO and the people at large who want to gain in-depth knowledge about ISO 9001:2015. This book has been written with an emphasis on the requirement in subject matter. It is hoped that the book will also help one to acquire a working knowledge of ISO 9001:2015 and provide one with a proper foundation —both conceptual and factual — to base further knowledge on.2

In March 1979, a prototype of a ‘Compact Disc (CD) digital audio system’ was publicly presented and demonstrated to an audience of about 300 journalists at Philips in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. This milestone effectively marked the beginning of the digital entertainment era. In the years to follow, the CD-audio system became an astonishing worldwide success, and was followed by successful derivatives such as CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, and recently Blu-ray Disc. Today, around the thirtieth anniversary of the milestone, it is taken for granted that media content is stored and distributed digitally, and the analog era seems long gone. This book retraces the origins of the CD system and the subsequent evolution of digital optical storage, with a focus on the contributions of Philips to this field. The book contains perspectives on the history and evolution of optical storage, along with reproductions of key technical contributions of Philips to the field.
