What is an Integrated Management System?

Organisations can often focus on management systems individually and each unit is split into different systems, which can include:

QMS – Quality Management System

A quality management system is a set of policies, processes and procedures required for the planning and execution of an organisation’s core business area. ISO 9001, a standard we offer certification in, is an example of a Quality Management System.

EMS – Environmental Management System

An Environmental Management System (EMS) determines and continuously develops an organisations environmental position and performance. ISO 14001, a standard that we offer certification in, is an example of an Environmental Management System.

SMS – Safety Management System

An SMS or OHSMS controls and continually improves an organisations Health and Safety position and performance, it follows an outline and is managed like any other area of a business. ISO 45001, a standard that we offer certification in, is an example of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System.

ISMS – Information Security Management System

Finally, an Information Security Management System dictates how your organisation should organise and manage its information security. ISO 27001, a standard we offer certification in, is an example of an Information Security Management System.

To conclude, adopting an Integrated Management System is a strategic move that can enhance an organisation’s efficiency and consistency. By bringing together various management systems such as QMS, EMS, EMS etc…, organisations can streamline their processes and procedures. This holistic approach ensures compliance with internationally recognised standards and helps to drive business growth.
