The primary audience for the book comprises practitioners in all the functional areas of business and industry. Relevant functional areas include quality engineers and managers, project managers, consultants, manufacturing engineers and managers, production supervisors, research and development managers, designers, process engineers, industrial and systems engineers, corporate and business planners.
