A management system for your company offers structure, accountability, and direction to those who work within it. It is the framework your company uses to establish strategic objectives and the tools used by your employees to achieve the results you need, whether to meet legal requirements related to occupational safety or to increase profits through leaner processes.
Management systems are built on the belief that tasks can theoretically be handled by themselves if all processes are documented and responsibilities are assigned. This is not always the case in practice, however this is the goal that companies aim for when they introduce their own management systems.
This logic is applicable to all management systems, regardless of whether they are used for sustainability, quality or energy. They all share the same core tasks: plan activities, carry them out, evaluate the results, and continuously improve. This is why you can find so many similar tools on the market.
It’s not sensible to run multiple systems simultaneously, since management systems are utilized in every aspect of a company and usually are a cross-functional focus. Creating an idea management system that is not compatible with the one you have for quality management is, for instance, a source of unnecessary burdens on employees and does not make much sense from an ISO perspective too. It is for this reason that it is increasingly crucial to implement a management system software that blends a variety of existing and new systems under one umbrella.
