The ASQ Auditing Handbook
Edited by J. P. Russell
Hardcover: 376 pages; Publisher: ASQ Quality Press - 3rd Edition (2005)
This best-selling handbook is now revised and fully updated, organized to correspond exactly with the ASQ Certified Quality Auditor (CQA) Body of Knowledge. In addition to being a valuable study resource for the CQA exam, it can also serve as the single auditing reference for quality, environmental, safety and health auditors, audit managers, and other professionals in the field. Audit practitioners have provided content, example audit situations, stories, and review comments as the handbook evolved (including Appendix E and other content supplied by Larry Whittington).
New to this third edition are topics such as auditor competency, business applications, and improvement tools. Existing topics have also been expanded to encompass process methods, process-based management systems, and ISO 19011 guidance. The handbook has been refocused to promote the common elements of all types of system and process audits (quality, environmental, safety, and health), and covers the latest auditing terminology and communication technology. Appendices provide samples of audit schedules, forms, and reports.
