The ISO 9001: 2015 Handbook: A Practical Guide to Implementation

ISO 9001:2015 can be confusing and overwhelming. Where do you begin? And, if you've already got an ISO 9001-based management system, how do you get the most from it?

Fortunately, you've got access to inside information in this handbook from Lorri Hunt, Jose Dominguez, and Craig William. All three have spent years in leadership positions on the ISO committee that helped to write the ISO 9001:2015 standard.
