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. It offers readers an improved understanding of how and why the design process must consider how the consumer will perceive a product or service. In order to facilitate the presentation and understanding of these concepts, illustrations and case examples are also provided throughout the book. This updated and enlarged volume provides an invaluable resource for managers, designers, manufacturers, professional practitioners and academics interested in quality management. The book also offers a useful supplementary text for marketing and quality management courses. 410 0$aMechanical Engineering (R0) Series 606 $aEngineering design 606 $aIndustrial engineering 606 $aProduction engineering 606 $aBusiness logistics 606 $aProduction management 606 $aEngineering Design 606 $aIndustrial and Production Engineering 606 $aSupply Chain Management 606 $aProduction 615 0$aEngineering design. 615 0$aIndustrial engineering. 615 0$aProduction engineering. 615 0$aBusiness logistics. 615 0$aProduction management. 615 14$aEngineering Design. 615 24$aIndustrial and Production Engineering. 615 24$aSupply Chain Management. 615 24$aProduction. 676 $a620.0042 700 $aKenyon$b George N$0720942 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911046536703321 996 $aThe Perception of Quality$92510232 997 $aUNINA
