HOT TIPS FOR IMPLEMENTING AN INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

Certification to one international management standard, at one time, can be demanding. Certification to two international management standards, at the same time, can be difficult. Certification to three international management standards, at any time, can be daunting... unless the approach is well planned. Understanding, and participating in, a management system is almost a condition of employment nowadays. All staff need to know about the generic skills of process control, auditing, measuring performance, making mistakes, making corrections and making suggestions. So why bother with integration? There are common core concepts running through the standards for quality, environment, and health and safety so there is some common ground. So one comprehensive 'process' can score three 'hits'. Embracing these concepts can lead to a more focused and more productive organisation.
