It’s designed to meet user demand for clarity, simplicity and practical implementation support when you use, or plan to use, more than one management system standard.
Who is Integrated Management System – A Practical Guide for?
This handbook is for organizations of any size that use or plan to use several MSS simultaneously. It’s especially relevant if you are:
Already operating an IMS and want to sharpen, streamline and improve it.
Using one MSS today and preparing to add a second (or more) without duplicating processes.
A small organization that needs an easy, practical tool to minimize workload and documentation.
What does Integrated Management System – A Practical Guide cover?
The handbook provides a straightforward model for integrating multiple MSS through three phases:
Prepare
Connect
Integrate
It distils integration into five essential elements to help you structure and maintain a cohesive IMS:
governance;
risk and opportunities;
conformity;
operations; and
performance and improvement.
You also get practical checklists and reusable tools, plus guidance that supports integrated audits and management reviews. Case studies are included to show application across organizations from micro-organizations to global enterprises.
