New myths have arrived with the publication of the ISO 9001:2015 edition.This book exposes many of the myths and enables a better understanding of ISO 9001:2015 by those who seek to create, implement, and improve an effective QMS for their organization.Full of real-life examples, this book enables you to read and successfully interpret the ISO 9001:2015 documentation.
