Synopsis

British quality management specialists Thorpe and Sumner revise the 1996 second edition of their Quality Assurance in Construction to incorporate subsequent developments in good practices and business models, and the current emphasis by the International Standards Organization on customer focus and satisfaction, processes as they key vehicles for achieving goals, and the need to understand and seek continual improvements in business processes and performance. They have also adjusted the tone a bit to make the book useful as a training manual as well as reference. Distributed in the US by Ashgate. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
