ISO 9001-14001-OHSAS-18001 IMS Documentation Package
An Integrated Management System (IMS) integrates all of an organization’s systems and processes in to one complete framework, enabling an organization to work as a single unit with unified objectives. An IMS combines all related components of a business into one system for easier management and operations. Quality (QMS), Environmental (EMS), and Safety (OHSMS) management systems are often combined and managed as an IMS. Examples of existing processes can include:
Organizations often focus on management systems individually, often in silos and sometimes even in conflict. A quality team is concerned with the QMS, and often an EHS manager handles both Environmental and Health and Safety issues, etc.
Integrated Management Systems:
QMS – Quality Management System
A quality management system (QMS) is a set of policies, processes and procedures required for planning and execution (production/development/service) in the core business area of an organization. (i.e. areas that can impact the organization’s ability to meet customer requirements.) ISO 9001:2008 is an example of a Quality Management System.
An Environmental Management System (EMS) determines and continuously improves organizations’ environmental position and performance.
An OHSMS determines and continually improves an organizations Health and Safety position and performance. It follows an outline and is managed like any other facet of a business, such as with marketing or engineering functions.
An EnMS determines and continually improves and organizations’ energy usage and impact.
A Food Safety Management System confirms that corporations in the food industy follow certain procedures and guidelines to ensure their products for customer safety.
An Information Security Management System determines how your organization should organize and manage its information security.
