International standards ensure that organizations operate the right
processes to support their objectives. International Standards for
Design and Manufacturing is an accessible guide for manufacturing and
production managers and students. It guides readers through the
standards needed to build operating systems which are robust, integrated
and used to drive the continuous improvement of business performance.
International Standards for Design and Manufacturing is based on
many years of research collaboration between Swansea University and
leading manufacturing and production practitioners from key companies
from around the world. Each chapter includes an introduction to the
standards being discussed, definitions, examples of using the standards
in practice, why these standards are important, conclusions, seminar
topics and mock exam questions to allow the reader to test their
knowledge and understanding.
