WHAT IS AN INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?
An integrated management system is a single system which manages multiple aspects of a business’s operations, in accordance with international standards; for example: quality, environmental, and health & safety management. It may also include other management systems such as financial, information security, or business continuity.
Implementing an integrated management system into your business provides a framework for streamlined operations and improved efficiency. By coordinating all of your management systems you can clearly establish a single, coherent system which can be extremely beneficial to your business.
HOW CAN AN INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS?
- Improved performance
Improvements to quality, safety, risk and productivity are just some of the positive impacts an integrated management system can have.
- Established consistency
Under an integrated management system, the alignment of standards enables improved consistency of system objectives. Organisation of the system therefore becomes less complex and easier to understand. They’re therefore more likely to maintain business success
- Eliminating Duplication
Due to the structural similarities between international standards, components such as policies, objectives, improvement processes can overlap. In an integrated management system, the stystem can be aligned, which will save you time and money. Why would you want to manage 2-3 documents when 1 will cover everything!
- Cost reduction
Integration of management systems combines processes and resources. It reduces the number of overall procedures and the length of time procedures take. Costs are therefore reduced.
- Optimise processes and resources
To optimise resources, an integrated management system puts focus on process implementation and added value. No more working in silos!
- Reduce maintenance
It is important that a business maintains their management systems to comply with standard requirements. This is something that’s often neglected and is where the most business improvement can come from. Under an integrated management system, you can maintain requirements concurrently, therefore focusing more time on improvements rather than maintenance and “scraping through” audits.
- Integrated audits
Internal, Supplier, and External Audits can be combined to make the process more efficient. The combination and crossover of these audit areas provides better insight into key risks, to ensure the business has appropriate controls in place to mitigate them.
- Facilitating decision making
An integrated management system allows for a more complete view of functional needs and performance. The business can analyse barriers and therefore improve communication and take a more systematic approach to making decisions and changes.
MANAGEMENT INTEGRATION AND CERTIFICATION
The ISO 19001 (Quality Management System); the ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System); and the ISO 45001 (Health and Safety Management System) are certification standards for businesses, with the purpose of improving organisation and efficiency.
These management systems have common structures which make them compatible for effective integration. Therefore, by adopting and integrating such systems, your business can transition easily into a streamlined organisation.
