The genesis of this book is over two decades of experience working with leaders who struggle with the concept of Quality Management System (QMS). Often, leaders fail to understand this concept, implement ineffective QMS models and subsequently are disrupted from their roles. More important and even more impactful are the consequences a poorly designed and executed QMS model has on organizational stakeholders including customers.
The purpose of this book is to provide a simple leadership quick guide for designing high-performing Quality Management System models. This guide will focus on Quality Management System assessment, structure, process and achieving outcomes through practical real-world tools, templates, and models. The test of any model is its outcomes. This book will provide decades of insight so leaders ensure their QMS model Solves Problems, Achieves Outcomes, Sustains Wins, and Transforms Organizational Outcomes in High-Risk Environments.
The intended audience for this book includes but is not limited to: top executives, governance members, leaders of any rank, thought leaders, strategists, students, performance improvement leaders, change agents, teachers, and anyone interested in quality, improvement, strategy, and leadership. Regardless of role, organization type, or industry, quality matters and is a focal point for customers. Thus, those leading the charge for excellence in this arena must have a good structure, process, and measurable outcomes sustained over time.
So, why is this topic important? In today’s world, change is the new normal and only constant. In many industries, such as healthcare for example, the foundations of the industries themselves are shaking greater than at any other time in history. As change grows, so does the associated risk and disruption. How will leaders and their organizations succeed in high-risk environments without a good foundation? The short answer is they won’t. The starting point for success is the Quality Management System.
By reading this book, readers will learn:
- How to construct a well-defined Quality Management System (QMS)
- How to identify and counter common misperceptions of QMS
- Techniques to engage other leaders in crucial conversations related to QMS gaps, illusions of success, perceived and real shortcomings, and measures of success
- How to conduct a basic and advanced assessment of Quality Management System models to determine what is working, what is not working, and high-risk areas to improve
- The required structural elements of high-performing QMS models
- A wholistic approach to the QMS process
- What measures constitute QMS success

This book brings the reader into intimate association with a hypothetical executive of a major corporation as he begins his journey to quality. The leader’s journal reveals chaos as he worries, errs, falters, and triumphs. He spends time frozen in inactivity, enjoys startburst flashes of insight, and exercises great courage. This is the disordered trip of reality, not the orderly, well-organized journey that is often described in retrospect.
Paralleling the journal is more conventional text written in a style that makes readers eager to make the trip themselves. It presents new material and deals with proven material in novel and refreshing ways. It offers new insights into organizational culture and examines why “tried and true” methods for changing it often don’t work-meaningful change must be preceded by an earth-shaking paradigm shift.
In an unconventional and intriguing manner the author addresses the economics of quality, statistical thinking, statistical process control, and inspection efficiency. He provides a useful process model for achieving a continuous improvement state in any organization.

Part of the Shingo Prize winning Manufacturing Insights Video Series, this program is about the successful partnership between John Deere in Horicon, Wisconsin and one of its suppliers - the R&B Machining and Grinding Company located in Racine, Wisconsin.
Find out what changes were required to "lean their supply chain" and how they successfully handled the changes to move from batch to lean production. See how they developed shorter cycle times needed for "build-to-demand," and how they are able to get better quality, lower costs and better delivery performance.
John Deere, who has built a reputation for doing the right thing, helps its suppliers meet the challenges of becoming a world class manufacturing company instead of just forcing demands on them. Since it is natural for workplaces to reject changes, R&B found it beneficial to do some internal training in the beginning. See how they changed the culture within the factory itself from one of "this is the way we're doing it today, this is the way we'll do it tomorrow," to a culture of continuous improvement with shared resources.

This succinct but absorbing book covers the main way stations on James Reason’s 40-year journey in pursuit of the nature and varieties of human error. In it he presents an engrossing and very personal perspective, offering the reader exceptional insights, wisdom and wit as only James Reason can. The journey begins with a bizarre absent-minded action slip committed by Professor Reason in the early 1970s - putting cat food into the teapot - and continues up to the present day, conveying his unique perceptions into a variety of major accidents that have shaped his thinking about unsafe acts and latent conditions. A Life in Error charts the development of his seminal and hugely influential work from its original focus into individual cognitive psychology through the broadening of scope to embrace social, organizational and systemic issues. The voyage recounted is both hugely entertaining and educational, imparting a real sense of how James Reason’s ground-breaking theories changed the way we think about human error, and why he is held in such esteem around the world wherever humans interact with technological systems. This book is essential reading for students, academics and safety professionals of all kinds who are interested in avoiding breakdowns that can cause serious damage to people, assets and the environment.

This book presents a model of organization transformation success. The model framework comprises a series of S-Curves (maturity curves) of planning and execution activities phased over time. The model is illustrated through description and analysis of an actual, two-decade, highly successful, global enterprise transformation Six Sigma program at a Fortune 200 company: Cummins, Inc. Lessons learned from the model and company case study are completely transferrable to other organizational culture, improvement and innovation transformation settings.
This insightful book:
- Documents a firsthand account of a successful transformation. The authors completely explain what was accomplished and the lessons learned from a 16-year deployment of Six Sigma at Cummins.
- Acts as a benchmark for those organizations interested in pursuing primarily a continuous improvement transformation, and more generally for other types of transformation efforts.
- Includes substantive interviews with ten key leaders and others who made the transformation possible.
- Helps organizations shorten the overall transformation timelines. The documentation of a transformation provides you a model for how to think about organization transformation maturity over time and plan for it.
- Recognizes the work of thousands of people involved in transforming a global company. The interviews provide extraordinary perspectives not only by executives who initiated and sustained the transformation program but also by program participants who themselves grew as managers and leaders in their careers through the program.
Essentially, this book helps early-career managers and executives see the broader picture of enterprise transformation, especially over time. This helps them be better managers and executives, and importantly, helps them better plan for and hasten their upward career trajectories. Lastly, the book describes a view of possibilities. It describes a clear, sustained success, the steps taken to get there and the measurement of progress. The result provides you with confidence that successful transformation is possible and worth the effort.

An important activity for an organization’s leaders and managers is making decisions associated with problem-solving. Making decisions is a complex endeavor where choices are made from courses of action where resources are limited and in the presence of constraints. Written as a guide, this book offers a quantitative approach to decision-making.
The process of decision-making is presented from a holistic point of view. This book offers a basic understanding of the issues and processes involved in decision-making by presenting the tools associated with problem analysis, tools that enable developing choices, as well as tools used to normalize judgment criteria achievement so that they are comparable across measures using different scales. Several solution methods for decision problems that have one evaluation criterion are explained first. Methods for problems with multiple criteria for evaluating alternate solutions are discussed as well. The multiple criteria methods include those that do not require any explicit preference or trade-off information from the decision-maker and those that do require the decision-maker’s preference or trade-off information.
The intended audience of the book includes technical and nontechnical professionals, managers, and supervisors at all levels, and engineering and business educators. The book would also be useful to undergraduate students, beginning graduate students, and recent graduates of professional programs, or in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and humanities.

This book is a compilation of 540 photographs and paintings of Qing Dynasty architecture that appeared in Western publications currently housed in the Peking University Library. The collection is categorized into 18 chapters, such as city walls and gates, pagodas, archways, guild houses, churches, streets, and bridges (see Table of Contents). These photographs and paintings present a visual introduction to the modes and styles of Chinese architecture built before and during the Qing Dynasty. Besides mirroring the various social upheavals in China during the late Qing Dynasty, the photographs also reflect the Sino–Western cultural interactions and military encounters then. This is shown in photographs of armed foreign troops standing guard on the city walls of Nanjing and the triumphant parade of the German military motorcade along a street in Qingdao. In conclusion, this book is useful as a visual reference for researching the architectural evolution during the Qing Dynasty and also provides a fresh and multi-faceted perspective on China’s political, social, cultural, and economic landscapes then.

by Vito Stagliano Energy––electric, oil and gas, coal, nuclear, renewable––powers the United States and the rest of the industrialized world. It also "powers" political upheavals, wars, and seemingly endless quests for the "right" energy strategy that will make logical sense of it all.
Vito A. Stagliano’s long-awaited book represents the history and comprehensive analysis of 65 years of energy policy making, with an insider’s view of the four-years that resulted in the Energy Policy Act of 1992—the last energy legislation enacted by Congress. Placed in the context of U.S. energy policy-making since the New Deal, Stagliano presents a case study which lends a historical basis for measuring the ongoing work of the G. W. Bush Administration to craft a national energy strategy.

The intent of this field guide is to assist organizations, step by step, in implementing a QMS in conformance with ISO 9001:2015, whether “from scratch” or by transitioning from ISO 9001:2008. Within the guide each sub-clause containing requirements is the focus of a two-page spread that consistently presents features that fulfill the requirements listed below. This book examines each sub-clause of clauses 4–10 of ISO 9001:2015, which contain the requirements, with a visual representation provided in flowchart format on the facing page.
This field guide will:
- Provide a user-friendly guide to ISO 9001:2015’s requirements for implementation purposes
- Identify the documents/documentation required, along with recommendations on what to consider retaining/adding to a QMS during ISO 9001:2015 implementation
- Guide internal auditor(s) regarding what to ask to verify that a conforming and effective QMS exists
- Direct management on what it must do and should consider to satisfy ISO 9001:2015’s enhanced requirements and responsibilities for top management
- Depict step by step what must occur to create an effective, conforming QMS
What separates this field guide from most other books on ISO 9001:2015 and its implementation are the flowcharts showing the steps to be taken in implementing a QMS to meet a sub-clause’s requirements. As the flowcharts themselves can be overwhelming when you first look at them, a text box appears with each flow chart that explains pertinent facts and/or what the flowchart represents and how it is to be used.

A Practical Guide to Cost Engineering aims to show you how to work as a cost engineer out in the real world.
Written by an experienced cost engineer and training program developer, this book introduces the practical side of cost management (cost estimation, cost reduction, and cost control) through real cases and realistic examples from a diverse range of engineering-based projects. With examples from nuclear, oil and gas, and renewable energy sectors, the book introduces and demonstrates the activities of the cost engineer throughout a project life cycle. The content is divided into logical sections covering basic concepts, cost estimation, cost control, economic feasibility, sustainability, and more, and the chapters are packed full of features such as definitions, formulas, exercises, and examples. The focus is on providing a practical approach where the reader can first understand a concept and then apply it using an Excel tool developed by the author which allows the reader to simulate different scenarios and results.
The simple approach focusing on essential information backed up by practical scenarios presented in this book allows cost engineers and related professionals to execute and understand their activities, develop their professional skills, and even develop in-house training programs.
