This book is designed to be an easily read, high-level guide to inform the executive management and staff support functions of an organization how critical it is to develop a Product Liability Prevention System and the steps needed to establish an effective Product Safety Plan. It was created to inspire the reader to be aware that the product safety criteria must be a subset of the organization's structure and built into the operation's strategic plan.Internationally known quality consultant and lecturer Bud Gookins walks the reader though a series of product systems and design concepts that will enable the manufacturer and service organizations to establish a product safety and product liability prevention process that can be integrated into an existing structure. It discusses the key elements of a sound operational process, quality assurance, and reliability system approach to product safety. It will address product liability prevention initiatives, the salient points involved in justifying a product recall, and how to navigate though the recall of a defective product that reaches the field.
