Our Director, Jackie breaks down what a management system might look like and include for any business.
All this talk about ‘management systems’ can be confusing. What on earth is a management system anyway?
The more formal explanation is that a management system is:
"an organization's own system developed to meet a standard, or standards requirements."
A management system can include policies, procedures, work instructions, records, software programs - anything that supports the organization in either meeting customers' requirements, minimizing environmental impact, or keeping their workers and visitors safe.
What your own management system looks like can be quite different from others as it is influenced by the type of activities, products, and services that you offer.
Now, understanding this, it is clear that a management system is simply your own business system. The tools and processes that you have in place to consistently deliver your product or service and to keep your workers safe and healthy.
