Management systems provide structured frameworks and processes to organizations in order to plan, control, and improve their operations in the best efficient way. They encompass a wide range of aspects, from quality management to environmental sustainability, risk assessment, and data security. They provide a systematic approach to managing resources and processes, leading to increased customer satisfaction, reduced costs, and a competitive edge in the marketplace and ensure operational excellence and sustainability.
We support our clients through their implementation on the following management systems; ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, ISO 22000, ISO 13485, ISO 27001, ISO 10002, ISO 20000, ISO 22301, ISO 37001, ISO 14064 and ISO 22716. Our consultants work closely with businesses to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and achieve strategic objectives.
After conducting an initial assessment of current processes and procedures, we start with identifying the areas in need of improvement and the the scope of the management system. Along with the allocation of resources which are crucial for a successful implementation, the creation of necessary documentation, including policies, procedures, and guidelines that will guide the implementation process start accordingly.
At this stage, necessary process changes including adaptation of workflows, procedures, and practices; data collection and monitoring and employee trainings are completed. Internal audits are conducted, and senior management reviews the effectiveness of the progress to ensure it aligns with the organization’s goal.
Organizations continuously monitor the management system's performance, collect data, and analyze results to identify areas for improvement. Feedback from all stakeholders is considered for refining and enhancing the management system. This cycle of continual improvement ensures that the management system remains relevant, adaptable, and valuable to the organization.
Management systems consultancy services offer various benefits to organizations seeking to implement or improve their management systems and processes.
Implementing a management system can vary significantly depending on various factors, including the complexity of the system, the size and nature of the organization, and the organization's existing processes and practices. However, ideally, the installation is expected to be completed within 3-4 months.
Accreditation (or validation) following management system certification is generally not mandatory. This post-certification process is often conducted on a voluntary basis and depends on the specific needs of the organization and market requirements. The necessity for accreditation, or the preference for it, is determined based on mandatory regulations, industry standards, and customer expectations. Organizations can choose to undergo accreditation or validation after management system certification based on their unique circumstances and priorities.
