Management Systems

Management Systems (SGs) are sets of rules and procedures, defined by internationally recognized standards, that any organization or company can apply to achieve defined objectives, such as customer satisfaction or the ability to continuously maintain its commitments and continuously meet customer requirements and be able to demonstrate this to third parties (i.e., customers or potential customers, regulatory bodies, suppliers or others outside the company).

A third party certifies the implementation of Management Systems ensuring compliance with international standards. The goal of continuous improvement of the organization’s performance in terms of quality, safety, environment or energy depending on the System’s objective is one of the fundamental connotations of Management Systems. Another feature of Management Systems is that they are international standards applicable to any organization, of any size and regardless of the sector to which it belongs.

The implementation of Management Systems brings a number of general benefits including the ability to access public calls for tenders in which having such certifications is often listed as a requirement.

Implementation of management systems

Management Systems share some characteristics:

  • are applicable to any organization of any size and in any industry,
  • are fully integrable with each other,
  • require compliance with current regulations,
  • involve all departments and business figures,
  • enable the communication of important information to employees and other interested parties,
  • improve the perception of the company.

The process for implemetation of a Management System is as follows:

  • identification of the purpose of certification,
  • analysis of the business environment,
  • drafting of procedures, manual and forms related to the Management System,
  • assistance with system certification,
  • internal audits,
  • verifications of compliance with mandatory regulations,
  • integration with other Management System.

occupational health and safety ISO 45001

ISO 45001, the new standard for occupational health and safety management, succeeded OHSAS 18001 in 2018.

The implementation of an ISO 45001 system finds its focus in a negative factor, risk, which managed through the application of ISO 45001, makes it possible to make working conditions safer, decrease workplace accidents, and improve staff well-being and satisfaction. ISO 45001 aims to prevent occupational injuries and health problems and to provide safe and healthy work environments.

As a worldwide standard, ISO 45001 is impartial with respect to geographic, political, economic, commercial and sociocultural divisions: it serves as a single reference for occupational health and safety management.

Occupational health and safety management can be easier if the organization operates in multiple nations, if a common standard is followed. Following the increasing alignment of corporate strategies with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs/SSGs), organizations aiming for sustainability are increasingly adapting their business strategies.

The benefits of a Management System according to ISO 45001:

  • increased risk prevention, decreased number of injuries and resulting downtime,
  • continuous improvement,
  • evidence of the company’s commitment to making the workplace safe, healthy and sustainable,
  • Reduction in liability insurance costs under Article 30 of Leg. 81/2008.

ISO 9001 Quality

ISO 9001 certification, revised in 2015, responds to the growing demand to make business processes increasingly efficient within an increasingly competitive environment.

More than one million organizations worldwide use ISO 9001 as their quality management standard. The application of ISO 9001, the world’s most widely used Quality Management System, is also a potetne tool for business improvement as its application commports important benefits such as:

  • The improvement of operational performance,
  • The reduction of time in the production cycle,
  • The improvement of corporate image externally and internally,
  • The reduction of the risk of error,
  • cost savings,
  • Greater satisfaction of customer needs.

Environment ISO 14001

As with all Management Systems, companies of all sizes and in all industries can benefit from ISO 14001 certification. In terms of day-to-day operations, implementing ISO 14001 can help companies of all sizes and industries become more environmentally friendly. Sustainability is a key element of ISO 14001: it provides guidance on how to think about different aspects of purchasing, storage, distribution, product development, manufacturing and other processes to minimize their impact on the environment.

Companies can benefit from greater adherence to regulations and supplier requirements by obtaining ISO 14001 certification. The development of ISO 14001 environmental management provides significant benefits:

  • A substantial reduction in costs and/or waste,
  • moon sustainable growth by effectively managing environmental responsibility,
  • The improvement of corporate image.

Energy ISO 50001

The Energy Management System according to ISO 50001 is the benchmark for reducing energy consumption and expenditures, as well as reducing emissions. There are three main objectives of implementing the ISO 50001 standard:

  • Reducing energy consumption and thus costs,
  • Compliance with regulatory requirements,
  • Improving environmental impact.

ISO 50001 provides a systematic approach to achieving all three of these goals.

ISO 22000 Food Safety and Hygiene

The ISO 22000 management system, updated in 2018, addresses all organizations in the food supply chain by integrating the principles of the HACCP system. It is based on four basic principles:

  • Definition of procedures and behaviors,
  • training,
  • control,
  • corrective actions.

Some benefits of implementing ISO 22000:

  • Implementation of full regulatory compliance,
  • Greater control of food safety,
  • Better planning and risk management,
  • Integration with other management systems such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
