What is a Management System?

According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a management system is “the way in which an organization manages the inter-related parts of its business in order to achieve its objectives. These objectives can relate to a number of different topics, including product or service quality, operational efficiency, environmental performance, health and safety in the workplace and many more“. [Reference: https://www.iso.org/management-system-standards.html]

We offer a free 0.5-hour phone call with a Management Systems Specialist to discuss which Management System and corresponding standard might be the right fit for your company.

WHY USE A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM STANDARD?

The overall performance of the services you offer and products you supply is vital to the success of your business. Management System standards, such as those defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) allow an organization to:

  • Better define and streamline organizational operations;
  • Identify methods to determine, measure, analyze and improve the performance of your services and products;
  • Enhance organization culture by encouraging practices such as risk-based thinking and evidence-based decision making;
  • Identify potential ways to increase efficiencies and reduce costs; 
  • Gain a competitive advantage through cost-savings, customer satisfaction, regulatory compliance and retention of key resources; and,
  • Fulfill a commitment to continuous improvement.

Each business is unique. The following words and terms convey different meaning according to the business type, maturity, structure and goals:
