Integrated Management Systems

"Difficulties mastered are opportunities won"
- Winston Churchill

Description:

The development of integrated management system is suitable for any organisation regardless of size or sector looking to integrate two or more of their management systems into one cohesive system with a holistic set of documentation:

• Policies
• Procedures
• Processes.

Power Quality Management has been assisting organisations to design and implement Integrated Management System:

• ISO 9001 Standard
• ISO 14001 Standard
• OHSAS 18001 Specification
• ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security
• ISO/IEC 20000 IT Service.

The key to integration is the understanding that integration focuses on business processes.

The Benefits:

• Reduced costs Avoiding duplication in internal audits, document control, training and administration, adopting future management systems will be much more effective.
• Time savings
  Having only one management review.
• A holistic approach to managing business risks
  Ensuring that all consequences of any action are taken into account, including how they affect each other and their associated risks.
• Reduced duplication and bureaucracy
  Having one set of processes ensures the requirements of the specific standards are co-ordinated, workloads streamlined and disparate systems avoided.
• Less conflict between systems
  Avoiding separate 'empires' for the likes of quality and environment, responsibilities are made clear from the outset.
• Improved communication, both internal and external
  Having one set of objectives, a team approach culture can thrive and improve communication.
• Enhanced business focus
  Having one system linked to the strategic objectives of the business contributes to the overall continual improvement of the organisation.
• Improved staff morale and motivation
  Involving and linking roles and responsibilities to objectives, it makes change and new initiatives easier to implement and makes for a more dynamic and successful company.
• Optimized internal and external audits
  Minimising the number of audits required and maximising the number of people involved.

How PQM Can Help?

Power Quality Management (PQM) has developed an implementation methodology to assist in the integration of standardised processes across and between the various entities of an organisation.

PQM specialises in developing with the organisations management team an Integration Plan which determines the key processes and allows the Management Team to create one structure that effectively and efficiently delivers the organisations objectives. Reference to PAS 99 Integrated Management and ISO Guide 72 will be considered in the development of Integrated Management System.
