Edward
P. Link has more than 40 years of industrial
experience as Engineer, Manager and Consultant.
Nearly all of his corporate career assignments
were devoted to Quality Engineering and
Quality Management assignments at large
companies manufacturing copiers, medical
products and photographic products. He
has extensive experience as a Lead Assessor.
As a Quality consultant with more than
ten years experience in that role he has
assisted both large and small companies
and corporations through training, development
and implementation of quality systems
and SPC.
His
published manuals, QP for ISO 9000:1994,
QP
for ISO 9001:2000, QP
for AS9100B, and QP for QS-9000,
have found wide acceptance throughout
industry and particularly with quality
professionals dedicated to continuous
process improvement and seeking to abbreviate
the lengthy documentation efforts required
for quality management system certification.
Mr. Link’s emphasis on the reduction
of variation in these manuals is rooted
in his exposure to the teachings of both
Dr. W Edwards Deming and Dr. Genichi Taguchi.
The pocket guide series written by Mr.
Link, An Audit
of the System,
not of the People
, has rapidly become the most
sought after for AS9100C,
AS9110,
ISO
9001:2008 ,
ISO
13485:2003, ISO
14001:2004 , ISO
22000:2005,
ISO/TS
16949:2002, and OHSAS
18001:2007. The popularity of these
guides can be traced back to the original
guide written for ISO 9000:1994. It was
also true for any of the predecessors
written for the above mentioned guides.
For example, ISO9001:2000
and AS9100B
