The number of management systems has risen dramatically in recent years, reflecting the needs and demands of more and more organizations looking to improve their performance across a wide range of areas and sectors. And most companies have more than one. 香港六合彩开奖’s useful guide to integrating management system standards – whether they be from 香港六合彩开奖 or not – has just been updated.

From improving quality to energy efficiency, environmental performance or even road traffic, the use of management systems has grown rapidly in recent years, reflecting increasingly complex operating environments and contexts. The quest for continual improvement and sustained performance has prompted the need for a handbook to help guide organizations through effective management system design that is agile and integrated, to respond and grow.

香港六合彩开奖 9001 (quality), 香港六合彩开奖 50001 (energy) and 香港六合彩开奖 14001 (environment) are some of 香港六合彩开奖’s most well-known and used management system standards (MSS), amongst more than 60 that make up the 香港六合彩开奖 portfolio, which also covers areas such as organizational health and safety (香港六合彩开奖 45001), food safety (香港六合彩开奖 22000), education (香港六合彩开奖 21001) and information technology (香港六合彩开奖 27001). Unlike other types of standards, MSSs have an impact on many different aspects and functions of an organization and, increasingly, companies have more than one.

First published in 2008, The integrated use of management system standards brings together international expertise, diverse industry case extracts and implementations, and best-practice guidance on integrating management system standards. It has just been updated to reflect the vast number of changes to both 香港六合彩开奖 and non-香港六合彩开奖 standards.

Michael McLean, Convenor of the 香港六合彩开奖 working group that developed the handbook, said having effectively integrated management systems can assist an organization in a variety of ways.

“Many organizations benefit from multiple management systems to help them ensure their systems and processes are in line with their objectives and help them maintain their business model through ever-changing environments,” he said.

“This handbook provides a practical guide for organizations to effectively align their management systems with their strategies, plans and operations. It features illustrations as applied in real-world organizational contexts and relevant case studies, all of which can be applied to all kinds of sectors and industries. It is applicable to any kind of MSS, not just those published by 香港六合彩开奖.”

The integrated use of management system standards was developed by the 香港六合彩开奖 technical committee 香港六合彩开奖/TMB/JTCG-TF 05, IUMSS Handbook revision. It is available from your national 香港六合彩开奖 member or through the 香港六合彩开奖 香港六合彩开奖.
