Industry's Guide to ISO 9000 offers a complete reference book for industry practitioners. It emphasizes technical and managerial processes, especially project management techniques, to implement changes at the product development level. Because personnel play a central role in the ISO 9000 standard, Industry's Guide to ISO 9000 focuses on people-related issues and shows how, with proper management, normally arduous procedures can be made easier for all concerned. Practitioners in all functional areas of business and industry - industrial and systems engineers, process engineers, designers, R & D managers, plant managers, production supervisors, manufacturing engineers, and quality engineers - will find Industry's Guide to ISO 9000 an essential guide to professional success.
Quality Systems Handbook is a reference book that covers concepts and ideas in quality system. The book is comprised of two parts. Part 1 provides the background information of ISO 9000, such as its origin, composition, application, and the strategies for registration. Part 2 covers topics relevant to the ISO 9000 requirements, which include design control, internal quality audits, and statistical techniques. The text will be useful to managers, auditors, and quality practitioners who require reference in the various aspects of quality systems.

This book brings together papers presented at the 3rd Conference of Research in Economics and Management (CIREG) held in Morocco in May 2016. With a focus on the challenges of SMEs and innovative solutions, they highlight the contribution of researchers in the fields of business and management, with all their micro and macro-economic aspects. They shed light on the universal scientific vision of the importance of SMEs with answers relevant to their local context and adapted to their specific national situation. The relevance of SME research lies in its heuristic value of analyzing change, rather than in constructing a category, a particularly useful empirical concept. This third volume is focused on marketing and human resources.
As the human population expands and natural resources become depleted, it becomes necessary to explore other sources for energy consumption and usage. Renewable and Alternative Energy: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of emerging perspectives and innovations for alternative energy sources. Highlighting relevant concepts on energy efficiency, current technologies, and ongoing industry trends, this is an ideal reference source for academics, practitioners, professionals, and upper-level students interested in the latest research on renewable energy.
Written for practitioners and students with an engineering background, this book bridges the gap between their understanding of the techniques of quality control and the wider definition of TQM which is now accepted as a key part of business philosophy. Analyzes the relevance of total quality management (TQM) to changes in the engineering profession in the light of its increased involvement in company practices. It presents a broad picture of TQM and its main aspects and explains why it is considered as the major thrust for future competitiveness.
Quality is a customer issue. It arises because customers require products and services, which not only meet their performance requirements but are satisfac tory in terms of safety, length of working life and pride of ownership. In a manufacturing organization, therefore, the achievement of quality standards is not restricted to the production departments. It extends to all parts of the business from conceptual design to marketing, from order processing and distribution. A quality product is not just a solidly made item dating from the days when 'Made in Britain' distinguished goods from all the inferior products coming out of the emerging industries of the Far East. It is a product which ranks high against all the criteria which sophisticated consumers now use to evaluate the things they buy. If you agree with the argument that a company is much more likely to produce high quality if all departments are motivated to achieve high quality results then you already have a good understanding of the basic principles of Total Quality Management (TQM). But TQM is not a 'quick fix' or a magic cure. It is a management technique designed to involve all parts of the business in the pursuit of, and commitment to, the highest quality result. By involving everyone from the Chief Executive to the most junior employee in the company's objectives, in a way which means something in their particular job, the company is well on the way to achieving the best results its workforce can achieve.
Unique en son genre dans sa conception et dans son contenu, Labo-Stat - Guide de validation des méthodes d'analyses présente une nouvelle stratégie de validation selon une démarche raisonnée fondée sur le profil d'exactitude. Les techniques statistiques adaptées y sont explicitées sous une forme didactique et les solutions possibles ainsi que les limites éventuelles de diverses normes existantes sont largement développées et illustrées d'exemples concrets directement exploitables. Les applications numériques, sous forme de feuilles de calcul modèles pour des tableurs et des petits scripts, sont téléchargeables en ligne. Complétée par les explications de cet ouvrage, elles permettent au non-statisticien d'accéder aisément à une interprétration graphique des résultats. Labo-Stat a été conçu pour pouvoir être facilement utilisé sur la paillasse du laboratoire et permettre à tout un chacun, responsable, ingénieur, chercheur, technicien ou étudiant, de s'approprier les techniques indispensables pour déboucher sur une conclusion claire et sans ambiguïté et mener la validation des méthodes dans un souci de contrôle des coûts.
