This review is from: ISO 9000 Requirements, 92 Requirements Checklist and Compliance Guide (Hardcover)

The author does a decent job explaining ISO requirements. Contrary to the other reviewer's claims, there are "no" examples in the book. Another useful tool would have been examples of ISO systems / process flowchart. Instead, the author tries to get you to buy his software if you want to see any example at all. I give the book 2 stars because it tries to do marketing instead of doing it's job of giving buyers useful information.

Based on the title of the book "ISO 9001 Requirements", the author did do his job explaining what the requirements are. However, if you want to do ISO in order to improve the quality system of your company, as opposed to just getting a piece of paper saying that your company is ISO certified, then look for another book.

This review is from: ISO 9000 Requirements, 92 Requirements Checklist and Compliance Guide (Hardcover)

This book is wonderfully written and the author really does a nice job presenting the information clearly. Our company also purchased the software documentation quality manual and procedure package that really complemented the book and its information. The author presents and suggests information throughout the software presentation that is all within the ISO standard. This approach allowed our company to be as flexible in editing the manual and procedures as necessary. During our assessment process, how well written and the structure of our documentation was specifically noted. Jack Kanholm is a foremost authority in the area of ISO standards and their structured approach to organizational improvement. He has several books on the subject to his credit. We were certified to the new standard thanks in part to Jack Kanholm's book, software, and his organization.

This review is from: ISO 9000 Requirements, 92 Requirements Checklist and Compliance Guide (Hardcover)

The book was all that it is advertised as. I was looking for a detailed analysis of each element of the ISO specification. The book identifies implementation, documentation records and what to audit for. It provodes a quick reference. The delivery of the book was earlier than promised.
