An Overview of Integrated Management System (IMS)

In today’s competitive business environment, streamlining operations is essential to achieve intended outcomes. Key principles of lean management include eliminating redundancies and consolidating systems. Implementing an Integrated Management System (IMS) provides a framework for doing just this.

An Integrated Management System consolidates two or more management systems from different disciplines into one system for easier management and operations. Quality (ISO 9001), Environmental (ISO 14001) and Safety (ISO 45001) Management Systems are often integrated and managed as an IMS. These systems are integrated with linkages so that similar processes are seamlessly managed and executed without duplication. When you integrate your management systems, you reduce duplication and improve efficiency.

Integrated management systems provide greater benefit than running separate management systems in parallel. The benefits of an IMS includes but not limited to continual improvement, optimal management, cost saving, process efficiency, reduction in training, implementation and auditing time and harmonized practices. This presentation will emphasize on benefits of IMS and methodology of integrating Quality (ISO 9001), Environmental (ISO 14001) and Safety (ISO 45001) Management Systems.

Risk Management in Quality Management Systems

Risk Management is an integral part of Quality Management Systems. All Quality Management Systems (e.g. ISO 9001, IATF 16949, AS 9100 & ISO 13485) clearly define the requirements to manage the risk to achieve intended outcomes. Customers and other interested parties have some expectations and they are very concerned that how we manage risk in our business to meet their expectations. The risk management requirement was in Quality Management Systems (QMS) from day one but after release of ISO 9001:2015, it became one of the most concerned requirements of interested parties including the auditors to qualify your organization for certification. In this short presentation we will try to understand the risk management requirement for effective implementation of QMS and to achieve our intended outcomes. We will cover the following during our presentation:

  • What is Risk?
  • What is Risk-based-Thinking?
  • Is there any ISO standard for Risk Management?
  • What is ISO 31000?
  • Which clauses of QMS Standards require to identify and manage the risk?
  • Why we need to identify and manage the risk?
  • What are the tools and techniques to identify and manage the risk?
  • Can we use Risk-based-Thinking in Auditing?
