A native of Gothenburg, Sweden, Mr. Zandin joined Maynard Sweden in 1964. In the late 1960s he developed an exciting new concept of work measurement, MOST Systems. Mr. Zandin relocated to the United States in 1975 to introduce MOST to U.S. industry and subsequently authored the book MOST Work Measurement Systems.
In 1986, Mr. Zandin was the recipient of the first ‘Technical Innovation in Industrial Engineering Award’ presented by the Institute of Industrial Engineers for his ‘significant innovative contributions to the industrial engineering profession.’ In 1990, Mr. Zandin received the ‘Royal Charter Award’ from the Institution of Production Engineers in Great Britain.
Mr. Zandin served on the Visiting Committee for the Industrial Engineering Department at the University of Pittsburgh for many years and on the Board of Directors of the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Institute of Industrial Engineers from 1995 to 2001.

She began as a human resources consultant with a Pittsburgh-based trade association and later became a MOST Certification expert with H. B. Maynard and Company (now part of Accenture), providing training and support for hundreds of organizations across all industries for the past 25 years.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
