PREFACE

Welcome to the fifth edition of Managing Quality: Integrating the Supply Chain . We are using the theme of supply chain management as a unifying theme for quality improvement. Previous adopters of Managing Quality will note that the coverage of quality topics is just as comprehen- sive as ever. We simply adopt the unifying theme of the supply chain to enhance our emphasis on the integration of systems with customers, suppliers, technology, and people. This is in response to changes in the marketplace and our customers—you! We think you will find that your custom- ers—the students—will find this change makes your quality management course ever more rel- evant and interesting. Of course, the new edition of the text has been updated with many changes to keep our coverage of quality topics on the cutting edge.

NEW TO THIS EDITION • You will notice more color in this edition of the text. This is because of you, our readers

and instructors who have made this book a best seller world wide. • Supply chain quality issues related to outsourcing have come to the forefront in recent

years, making this book even more relevant. With this, we have increased the coverage of outsourcing issues such as managing supplier alliances.
