Integrated Management Systems
What is an Integrated Management System
An Integrated Management System (IMS) brings together all components of a business into a single, unified framework, allowing an organisation to achieve its objectives efficiently and effectively.
Traditionally, businesses have implemented separate management systems. These systems were developed independently to comply with different international and national standards, such as ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety). Maintaining them separately required significant resources, as each system had to be documented, monitored, and audited individually.
By integrating multiple management systems, organisations benefit from a more streamlined, consistent, and efficient approach that simplifies compliance, reduces duplication, and enhances overall performance.
Benefits of an Integrated Management System
There are many good reasons to implement an Integrated Management System:
- Quicker system development time
- Reduced development costs compared to developing individual systems
- Reduced certification costs compared to certifying individual systems
- Easier to maintain – one set of documentation, policies, procedures and processes for all standards.
- Reduces risks and increases profitability
- Creates consistency
- Helps to coordinate activities between all levels of the organisation
- Helps to harmonise and optimise workplace practices
- Improves communication
- Helps to focus the organisation on the achievement of business goals
- Helps to eliminate conflicting responsibilities and relationships
Some of the characteristics of an Integrated Management System
- It is a simple system to operate
- It help users to quickly find the information they need to do their job
- It ensures that confidential information is restricted to people on a need to know basis
- Users only enter information once
- It should be flexible enough to meet the requirements of each standard as well as the regulative requirements of each jurisdiction in which you operate under.
