Download or read book ISO 14001 Environmental Systems Handbook written by Ken Whitelaw and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ISO 14001 Environmental Systems Handbook Second Edition outlines the scope and purpose of the standard, making it accessible to all. The author begins by explaining the concepts of the standard, which sets the tone for a practical guide to implementation of an ISO 14000-compliant environmental management system, which also covers the consultant's and auditor's perspective. The case studies from industries that have actually undergone the process have been updated to include information on their progress toward environmental objectives in the 18-24 months following implementation. A new case study from a service organisation ( a car lease company) will be added. Finally there is input from training organisations and certification and accreditation bodies to assist with trouble-shooting and assessment. Additional information is also included on international legislative issues. Comparisons with ISO 9000 will also be fully updated to reflect revisions to this standard. The book will offer the reader a range of options for implementation, and guidance on which is the best option to suit the particular organisation's culture.
Download or read book Architecture Competitions and the Production of Culture Quality and Knowledge written by Jean-Pierre Chupin and published by Potential Architecture Books. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Winner of the 2016 Bronze medal in Architecture, Independent Publisher Book Awards] This book comprises a series of 22 case studies by renowned experts and new scholars in the field of architecture competition research. In 2015, it constitutes the most comprehensive survey of the dynamics behind the definition, organization, judging, archiving and publishing of architectural, landscape and urban design competitions in the world. These richly documented contributions revolve around a few questions that can be summarized in a two-fold critical interrogation: How can design competitions - these historical democratic devices, both praised and dreaded by designers - be considered laboratories for the production of environmental design quality, and, ultimately, for the renewing of culture and knowledge? Includes 340 illustrations, bibliographical references and index of over 200 cited competitions. Keywords: Architecture / International competitions / Architectural judgment / Design thinking / Digital archiving (databases) / Architectural publications / Architectural experimentation / Landscape architecture / Urban studies

Download or read book Contemporary Sephardic and Mizrahi Literature written by Dario Miccoli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few years, the fields of Sephardic and Mizrahi Studies have grown significantly, thanks to new publications which take into consideration unexplored aspects of the history, literature and identity of modern Middle Eastern and North African Jews. However, few of these studies abandoned the Diaspora/Israel dichotomy and analysed the Jews who moved to Israel and those that settled elsewhere as part of a new, diverse and interconnected diaspora. Contemporary Sephardic and Mizrahi Literature argues that the literary texts produced by Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews who migrated from the Middle East and North Africa in the 1950s and afterwards, should be considered as part of a transnational arena, in which forms of Jewish diasporism and postcolonial displacement interweave. Through an original perspective that focuses on novelists, poets, professional and amateur writers – from the Israeli poets Erez Biton and Shva Salhoov to Francophone authors such as Chochana Boukhobza, Ami Bouganim and Serge Moati – the book explains that these Sephardic and Mizrahi authors are part of a global literary diaspora at the crossroads of past Arab legacies, new national identities and persistent feelings of Jewishness. Some of the chapters emphasise how the Sephardic and Mizrahi past and present identities are narrated, how generational and ethno-national issues are taken into account and which linguistic and stylistic strategies the authors adopted. Other chapters focus more explicitly on how the relations between national societies and different Jewish migrant communities are narrated, both in today’s Israel and in the diaspora. The book helps to bridge the gap between Hebrew and postcolonial literature, and opens up new perspectives on Sephardic and Mizrahi literature. It will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Jewish and Postcolonial Studies and Comparative Literature

Download or read book ISO 9001 2015 Internal Audits Made Easy written by Ann W. Phillips and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2015-09-21 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implementing the requirements of ISO 9001 can be a daunting task for many organizations. In an attempt to develop a system that will pass the registration audit, we are tempted to establish processes with the primary purpose of conforming to the requirements of ISO 9001. In doing so, however, it is easy to lose sight of the primary intent of the standard: to continually improve the effectiveness of the quality management system (QMS) implemented at our organization. This book is intended to help managers, quality professionals, internal audit coordinators, and internal auditors implement a practical internal audit process that meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 while adding significant, measurable value to the organization. The tools, techniques, and step-by-step guidelines provided in this book can also be used by those organizations that have a well-established internal audit process but are looking for easy ways to make that process more effective.

Download or read book Iso 9000 Family of Standards written by David John Seear and published by . This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cover picture depicts a family of swans. The lone swan on the front cover represents ISO 9001 "The Father". It is considered the favourite and is known by everyone. The swan on the back cover represents ISO 9000 "The Mother". The mother does a lot of work behind the scenes but this is not always recognised by others. The larger cygnet is ISO 9004 although quite small it will no doubt grow as more people become aware and take notice of it. The smallest ISO 19011 is the most vulnerable and may not stay part of the family for much longer. Is ISO 9001moving towards the others and going to recognise them? (READ ON TO FIND OUT) This book was written to highlight the importance of the ISO 9000 Family of Standards and the role that each standard plays within that Family. The intention is that the purpose and scope of each standard will be better understood and some of the confusion over ISO 9001 will be removed. It has been decided that as the "ISO 9001 Audit Trail" book is relevant, extracts from the 1st edition March 2010 have been included as appendix F. This document is for Organisations that use any of the four ISO 9000 Family of Standards and carry out audits or auditor training
