If you hear Quality Management as buzzword and know nothing about it, this book would be a great choice to get into this world. If you even a quality expert and want to link subjects together to find further research area, you would find this book excellent to see the whole picture. It is one of the books I borrowed from the library before having them in my own shelves as golden reference for quality management. I strongly recommend it as text book for educational purposes as well as consultancy.
