Abstract

There are different integrated systems proposed in the literature. Some deal with the integration of improvement methodologies with each other or with other MSs such as ISO 9000. However, ICWMS is believed to be more comprehensive, as it integrates all aspects of managing and improving a business operation. ICWMS practices correspond and compare to other MS models. This chapter presents a link between ICWMS and other MS models.
