Book Description

QMS Conversion: A Process Approach assists organizations in converting their existing quality management systems of documentation into systems of managed processes that deliver business benefits.

The 2000 version of ISO 9000 requires a different approach to be taken towards the achievement of quality, an approach that delivers customer satisfaction not simply compliance with documented procedures. By using a process approach to the development of a management system, the significant time and expense invested should be utilized in a way that will help an organization achieve real business benefits through the application of ISO 9000: 2000. The real value of the process approach is its focus on results thereby eliminating activities and procedures that do not add value in the organization's quest to satisfy its customers and other interested parties.

Written in a straightforward, non-technical manner, the approach is easily understood and followed by managers or engineers at any level. It allows readers to focus on results rather than functions, activities, procedures or standards. Applying this methodology to the management of quality will give you a distinctive competitive edge over the companies that end the certification process once the requirements have been met.

With this book, the reader will be able to:
· Recognize the difference between conformance to standard and system performance
· Distinguish between procedures and processes and understand what makes the two fundamentally different from one another
· Understand the large gap that exists between a procedural approach and a process approach
· Comprehend the importance and power of the eight quality management principles
· Understand the steps to be taken to convert element-based systems to process-based systems and identify the factors that affect success in the conversion process
· Construct a model of the business that identifies the key processes and their interfaces
· Establish performance indicators and measurements for each process and produce process flow charts that link together to form a coherent system description
· Understand the steps to take to construct a system that fulfills the design criteria
· Determine whether the conversion has been successful and identify where further improvement is required

Each chapter is structured with a set of learning outcomes that can be accomplished by covering its contents. The chapters follow the sequence of the conversion process and each addresses the change in direction brought about by the ISO 9000: 2000 family of standards.

Excellent - A Must Have.......2003-02-03

Don't bother buying the Resource Kit - buy this book instead. It explains the architecture and lets you know upfront what is and is not currently available in the 1.0 release of the product.

Hacks to provide functionality that should have been in the product are covered (although with strong warnings about no support from Microsoft).

If you've suddenly been handed a project involving SharePoint, buy this book! It will save you many hours of grief.

If you need training wheels, keep walking!.......2003-01-21

If you want to know how to install and configure the SharePoint out-of-the-box user experience, your expectations won't be met by this book. But, if you want to know the product inside and out (but especially inside!) then don't move an inch - your here!

There's no other place to get this detailed level of information - not even the resource kit! The more tedious parts come with click-by-click instructions. We are a Microsoft SharePoint ISV and have accomplished a number of significant SharePoint and Team Services implementations in both the Federal and commercial market. I wish I had this book before we started.

Yes, the book is technically challenging. It "gives away" a lot of the tips and tricks that it took several years to learn while developing knowledge-based applications over the Exchange storage system. It exposes these secrets so that just about any experienced developer can produce truly flexible, re-deployable knowledge applications and portals.

If you're afraid to skin your knees, stay in the sandbox.

Not good.......2003-01-13

This book (especially the beginning) contains lots of unnecessary, story-like and useless text. I have read the first 70 pages and I hope the rest of the book is much better.

The Best Resource for Developers.......2002-11-07

This is still the best book out there for developers looking to extend and customize SharePoint Portal Server. It provides detailed step-by-step instructions for customizing the UI and insight into the ways you should and should not use SPS. Highly recommended.

Many pages, but little useful information.......2002-08-21

The information provided in this book is too general. I wish I had given up this book early before I spent so much time finishing the whole book. I did not know much about SharePoint Portal Server. After I read this book, I found that I still know little about it.

How economic growth works........2000-09-22

The author shows that there is no explanation for economic growth nowadays, and therefore no recipes do exist. The wealth of nations may be pushed forward by neoliberalism or by social market economy or by Santa Clause. According to the lay of land all three are in a same way competent...

A brilliantly comparative analysis of the contradictions that beset all the various capitalist models amidst globalization today as well as of the mode of thinking that limits our perspective to choosing among them. A must read for everyone doing work in comparative and international political economy, and for all those concerned with finding a new way forward for labour movements and the left.

Book Description

Timid and retiring, the Victorian housewife was an "angel in the house," or so says the stereotype. But when this angel picked up a popular magazine--The Lady, for instance--she saw in its advertisements images of Grecian goddesses, women warriors, queens, actresses, adventurers. These arrestingly sexual and surprisingly powerful images are the subject of Consuming Angels, a major examination of how Victorian ads shaped social values. Stylishly written and featuring 73 reproductions, this book shows how ads used the hedonistic aspects of Victorian culture to sell their wares, glorified consumerism, and mythologized the middle-class life. Images of aggressive women, Loeb shows, played well to both men and women. And ultimately, these ads helped usher in the twentieth century with the creation of a new community: the community of consumers.

Customer Reviews:

Poor Effort.......2004-04-02

This book is not a good tome for risk managers, for marketers, or for quantitative professionals. It's as if Nelken read some articles and cobbled up this book. Waste of time and money.

Credit Derivatives for Risk Managers.......2000-03-12

This book will give risk managers something to think about when they start to implement credit derivatives as part of the strategy.

good guidebook for credit derivatives.......1999-08-30

You can understand the concept of credit derivatives
