SSQC's latest book: “ISO 9001:2000 for Software and Systems Providers: An Engineering Approach” is available to order from Amazon.com.

Written by engineers for engineers, the authors incorporate more than a decade of experience implementing ISO 9001 in engineering organizations of all types. They present a well-defined roadmap that any engineering organization can follow to secure the maximum benefits from the standard. Their roadmap has proven effective in small and large organizations, from Silicon-Valley-based startups to established defense contractors.

This volume dissects and analyzes each paragraph of ISO 9001 from an engineering perspective, clarifying the relationship to engineering practices and the potential benefits to the organization. This volume also stresses the relationships among the paragraphs, which can have a critical impact on the efficiency of the ISO implementation.

Executives, engineering managers, project managers, engineers, and process improvement experts within engineering organizations need a resource that systematically translates the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 into a usable specification for engineers. Understanding ISO 9001:2000 from an engineer's perspective ensures that software, hardware, and systems engineering organizations will continue to develop, maintain and evolve their engineering practices long after the consultants are gone. ISO 9001:2000 for Software and Systems Providers: An Engineering Approach provides proven strategies for using ISO 9001 to implement and revitalize systematic process improvements within software, hardware, and systems engineering organizations.

A review commissioned by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) concludes that their book, "will be of immense value to anyone interested in the quality aspects of the manufacturing/service/software/hardware sector.  It will be very useful for software engineering or information technology (IT) courses.  The publishers deserve accolades for bringing out a book that is written in an elegant style, and devoid of any syntactic or semantic errors."

Another review in ASQ's Software Quality Professional journal concluded that this book, "is an excellent resource for both implementers and auditors.  A commentary like this book is essential to properly understand the intent of the ISO standard and to implement it as part of continuous improvement for software and systems engineers.  It would be very valuable for an organization that is just beginning to look at the standard.  It is also valuable for auditors who have worked with other types of organizations but not engineers.  It can be used both as a text for understanding the standard and as a handbook for reference during an audit."

"ISO 9001:2000 for Software and Systems Providers should be in the library of everyone using ISO 9001:2000 for engineering projects."

The following reference material and information targets software, hardware, services and manufacturing firms implementing ISO 9000 as a foundation for implementing sound engineering practices such as requirements definition, project planning and management, verification and validation and configuration management.

In order to provide timely, accurate information to software, hardware, services and manufacturing organizations seeking ISO 9001 registration, SSQC offers reprints of its papers and articles.
