Environmental and Quality Systems Integration, William C. Culley, 1566702887, 9781566702881

Global competition, corporate downsizing and corporate restructuring have forced many firms to reevaluate their operating methods. Today, corporations must do more with less while still watching the bottom line and improving profitability. ISO 14000 and ISO 9000, because of their similar management system requirements and auditing procedures, are good candidates for integration. This is the driving force behind Environmental and Quality Systems Integration.
This comprehensive guide provides step-by-step instruction for companies wishing to cut costs and integrate their Environmental Health and Safety System (ISO 14000) into an existing Quality Management System (ISO9000). Environmental and Quality Systems Integration serves to ease this transition and offers companies a way to meet quality assurance standards.

• Provides examples of concurrent integration of similar environmental management systems
• Assists quality assurance and environmental management professionals to develop a single program satisfying both standards.
• Eases the transition to ISO 14000 compliance while offering a way to meet quality assurance standards.
