Summary This book is aimed at potential customers and personnel in the injection moulding industry, and emphasises quality control, including working to the ISO 9001 Standard. It also highlights the need to consider the economics of operation prior to taking on new projects. Above all, the customer-manufacturer relationship is emphasised at all stages. The customer is encouraged to examine the capabilities of the manufacturer, and the manufacturer is encouraged to develop a good understanding of the exact requirements of the customer. This book is of value to all areas of a company, from those who pur
