Management systems, simple or integrated

Organisations use the term management systems to indicate decision making and combined actions in  processes and procedures in order to reach company goals.

From management system per standard…

Usually, companies install separate management systems regarding quality, environment, occupational health and safety and recently also on social responsibility. So they support a quality management system, a environmental management system, and so on.

When companies state company policy and goals on all off these subjects separately, a danger exists for sub optimisation and inefficiencies because each management system contains the same basic elements of planning, operations and measuring and controlling.

The establishment of management systems in the last 20 years or so, has evolved largely from the international standards for management systems from the NEN-ISO-institute. The accompanying certifications for each standard separately, contribute to the individual approach of the management systems.

The international standards  and the certifications have large benefits, but nevertheless companies can add extra value by seeking integration of the separated management systems they have in place. The establishment of one integrated management system in your organisation, is a challenge that will without doubt, create substantial returns.
