Integrated Management System - Awareness Training Programme
A management system is simply a structured
approach to the management of a particular issue
of concern e.g.
- quality
- health and safety
- environment
- food hygiene

How to implement IMS ?
Single common manual
Have process documents for common requirements of various
systems eg) Management reviews, Internal audits, CAPA, etc
Integrated Policy & objectives
Process documents to address all requirements simultaneously
Records to address parameters related to all systems
Process Mapping to address all issues
Process metrics to demonstrate overall process performance
Identification of control points
Training on a common platform
Common audits and reviews

There are 3 basic ways of operating the multiple systems
• Separate systems
» Ensure appropriate focus on each element of the business
» Do not facilitate achievement of the organizational goals
» Lead to duplication of efforts
• Aligned systems
» Integration of common areas of standards like policy, documentation, document
control, organizational structure, competency, corrective / preventive actions, internal
audit, management review, etc
» It allows degree of separation while enabling identification of common trends /
problems and appropriate action
• Integrated system
» Implement various standards as one system
» Facilitates simulation of business improvement via ‘waste’ reduction, removal of
barriers among departments / functions thus adding to company’s competitive
advantage
The ‘IMS’ is expected to help the company achieve their organizational
goals

There are 3 levels of integration
LOW
• Only top management procedures and processes, such as
Management System Policy, Manuals or Management Review are
unified.
MEDIUM
• Additionally, Management procedures and processes, such as
Documents Control, Internal Audits, Preventive Action are unified
HIGH
• Additionally, Operational Procedures and processes such as
Production Control, Purchasing, Monitoring, among others, are unified
• This is the real ‘IMS’
If only the documents are collated together, it is not an IMS.
Levels of Integration
18. 18
Integrated Management System - Awareness Training Programme
IMS
1
The documentation must be common for IMS
The system must be implemented for a minimum period of 90 days
before the date of the initial audit
At least 2 round of internal audits and 1 management review must be
completed before the initial audit
The scope and the cycle of certification must be the same for all the
systems under integration
For such systems, once approved, Bureau Veritas Certification will
provide one single certificate subject to availability of common
accreditation
Even if all the underlying systems are certified earlier, initial audit for
verification of integration is a must for IMS certification

Bureau Veritas Certification’s
approach to IMS
The initial audit covers the verification of actual level of integration
and adequacy checks of all documentation
• This is a combination of initial audit of EMS/OHSAS and adequacy
audit of QMS
• Brief site visit
• Process description
• Mandatory documentation
• Aspect / impact & HIRA procedures, legal requirements for all systems
• Internal audit & management review related to IMS
The Main audits cover the Integrated systems with a comprehensive
check on flow of all related activities coming under the scope of
certification
The respective standards will still be the basis of auditing
IMS
21. 21
Integrated Management System - Awareness Training Programme
During the audit, we take a holistic view of the management system
Verify ‘integrated’ implementation
If there is a requirement in any one standard, it is mandatory to
address in the IMS Ex : Documented Procedure for Internal
Auditing,Quality Manual

Benefits of Integrated
Management Systems Approach
Achieve organisational goals
Efficient use of management resources
Reliable achievement of objectives e.g.
customer requirements
legal requirements
internal performance requirements
Promotes confidence amongst interested parties.

Integrated Management System - Awareness Training Programme
Reduced documentation due to shared procedures
Streamlined implementation - e.g. combined audits, combined
training, combined management reviews
‘One culture’- environment, health and safety and quality perceived
to have equal importance
Benefits of Integrated
Management Systems Approach
IMS
24. 24
Integrated Management System - Awareness Training Programme
• Where a management system (e.g. QMS) already exists,
integration may minimise barriers to the introduction of new
systems such as environmental or health and safety
• But a poorly designed, over-bureaucratic system can have the
opposite effect
• Integrated systems are not easy to understand. Poor
understanding could lead to ignorance of the ‘unknown’ systems
Benefits of Integrated
Management Systems Approach
IMS
25. 25
Integrated Management System - Awareness Training Programme
Single certificate
Cost effective
Avoid multiple visits for audit
Flexibility to add more management systems with the same
documentation
Highly customized to organisation specific requirements
One stop shop for many management systems
Sustenance is cost effective
Need not deal with many certifying agencies

Management Systems Approach
