In The Quality Revolution, George Mouradian examines the quality initiatives —past and present— that have been used throughout the world. Mouradian's purpose is to clarify exactly what quality is to workers of all levels, from CEOs to production workers within an organization. He describes the history of quality, from how it began in ancient times and evolved to what it is today. This book will assist all who are interested in quality, as well as organizations that endeavor to become more competitive and profitable through improvements in quality, and may serve as a college and university textbook on quality and reliability.
Mouradian states in the preface that the purpose of the book is to present techniques, strategies, principles, and philosophies of quality management that have developed through the centuries. He meets his goal. His remarkably well written survey is both concise and thorough in coverage as reflected in the chapter topics, which range from the initiation of Western civilization, the Renaissance, and the Indusrial Revolution, to the inception and advancement of modern quality management up through the 21st century....RECOMMENDED for upper-division undergraduate through professional collections. -- J.
