It links consumer perceptions of quality to the design and delivery of the final product, and presents models and methods for improving the quality of these products and services.

In order to facilitate the presentation and understanding of these concepts,



illustrations and case examples are also provided throughout the book.   This book provides an invaluable resource for managers, designers, manufacturers, professional practitioners and academics interested in quality management.
