The contents of the manual are divided into three major sections objectives, quality manuals, and standard operating procedures. The first section addresses the definition of quality, basic changes, correspondence between international standard ISO 9001 (1994) and ISO 9001 2000, and the process of documentation development and application for registration and certification.

For measurement of the quality of telephone-band speech codecs a simplified method, the perceptual speech quality measure (PSQM), is presented. The PSQM was benchmarked together with four other speech quality measurement methods within ITU-T Study Group 12 by the NTT (Japan). It showed superior performance in predicting subjective mean opinion scores. The correlation on the unknown benchmark database was 0.98 [ITUTsgl2con9674, 1996], The PSQM method was standardized by the ITU-T as recommendation P.861 [ITUTrecP861, 1996], objective quality measurement of telephone-band (300-3400 Hz) speech codecs.

As with satisfaction, there is a rich history concerning the concept of quality. A broad definition of quality is superiority or excellence. Researchers note a difference between objective quality (i.e., measurable and verifiable superiority on some predetermined ideal standard) and perceived quality (Zeithaml, 1988). Perceived quality is a global assessment made by a consumer that is posited to exist at a higher level of abstrac-... 

In Contingencies of Value, Barbara Smith (1988) argues that values are not "fixed" or "objective" qualities, but they are "an effect of multiple, continuously changing, and continuously interacting variables" (30). Likewise, Scott and Susanmarie s DCM work with their colleagues, which produced the dynamic rubric s richly synthesized and interwoven criteria descriptions, illustrates how assessment values are contingent upon their rhetorical interrelationships and contexts. Stalions... 

Colour and appearance are powerful indicators of object quality. This applies particularly to food. Human beings have different sensitivities to flavour and it is relatively easy to confuse tasters by giving them inappropriately coloured foods (Moir 1936). The existence of the halo effect results in some foods having to be tailored for a particular market. For example, the French prefer their rose wines to... 

FD, FFD and other related methods have in common that they suggest ideal experiments that, in a later stage, have to be associated with real molecules. A complete different approach starts from a set of real molecules, candidates to be included into the series. Provided that we can define an objective quality criterion for the series, it is possible to extract from the universe of candidates a few compounds yielding the best results, and therefore called optimal series. As a criterion of quality it has been proposed the value of...

Certification is also strictly based on what the SUBSAFE program defines as Objective Quality Evidence (OQE). OQE is defined as any statement of fact, either quantitative or qualitative, pertaining to the quality of a product or service, based on observations, measurements, or tests that can be verified. Probabilistic risk assessment, which usually cannot be verified, is not used.

The goal of this phase is to determine the context of the problem and to gain initial information about the process. First, the description and purpose of the process is formulated and the available process information is listed. Subsequently, the process model objective, quality requirements, level of detail and the domain range are defined. It has practical and economic advantages if a model can be built on the readily available process information (that is using information that is available without performing specific experiments), be it experimental data or hitman expertise. This will not always be possible, but the available process information should be analyzed before the model stmcture is designed. The result of the analysis phase is a set of requirements for the environmental model of the process to be built.
