The latest edition of ISO 9001, published in 2015, is changing the way organisations are run worldwide. No longer is it sufficient simply to check on an organisation's quality management system: the revision demands that auditors assess the leadership and management of the quality system. This brings the standard alongside the widely proven system and process approach to continuing quality transformation that lies at the heart of the very best global companies.Over a million registered organisations around the world need to engage with the revised requirements. If you work for one of them the changes may be significant. In Implementing ISO 9001:2015 business transformation experts Jan Gillett, Paul Simpson and Susannah Clarke take managers step-by-step through the process needed for successful transition, improving results and facilitating a smooth audit. By applying the principles and methodologies, and using the book's templates and questions with their teams and suppliers, managers will transform the performance of their organisations. The tangible benefits will pay for the transition many times over.Implementing ISO 9001:2015 is a comprehensive guide to making the necessary transition to the new standard. The changes can also be used to stimulate transformation in organisations and their wider environments, coordinating processes to achieve both customer satisfaction and reduced operating costs.

2007 The Machine that Changed the World Free Press
ISBN 1847370551 ISBN-13 9781847370556

When James Womack, Daniel Jones, and Daniel Roos wrote THE MACHINE THAT CHANGED THE WORLD in 1990, Japanese automakers, and Toyota in particular, were making a strong showing by applying the principles of lean production. However, the full power of lean principles was unproven, and they had not been applied outside of the auto industry. Today, the power of lean production has been conclusively proved by Toyota's unparalleled success, and the concepts have been widely applied in many industries. Based on MIT's pioneering global study of industrial competition, THE MACHINE THAT CHANGED THE WORLD offers a groundbreaking analysis of the entire lean business system, including product development, supplier management, sales, service, and production - an analysis even more relevant today as GM and Ford struggle to survive and a wide range of British abd American companies embrace lean production. A new Foreword by the authors brings the story up to date and details how their predictions were right. As a result, this reissue of a classic is as insightful and instructive today as when it was first published.
