The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)<\/a> defines a management system as a set of procedures an organisation needs to follow to meet its objectives. A management system standard provides a model to follow when setting up and operating a management system. Some of the top-level benefits of a successful management system include:<\/span><\/p>\n ISO has published many management system standards for topics ranging from quality and environment to information security and business continuity management. For this reason, and to help accomplish their business objectives, most organisations have more than one management system standard in place. With this comes a need to integrate and combine the standards effectively because uncoordinated systems take up extra time and resources.<\/span><\/p>\n Most organisations have more than one management system standard. Existing management system standards often have different structures, requirements and terminology, so integration is challenging. Uncoordinated systems take up extra time and resources. At CRI\u00ae Group, we can help you address this problem. Adopting these standards together in an integrated way will produce less duplication, confusion, and misunderstandings by ISO 31000, ISO 37001 and ISO 19600.<\/span><\/p>\n Management system auditors use a core set of generic requirements across disciplines and industry sectors. In the future, all ISO management system standards will have the same high-level structure, identical core text, as well as common terms and definitions:<\/span><\/p>\n It sets out the intended outcomes of the management system. The outcomes are industry-specific and should be aligned with the organisation’s context (see clause 4).<\/span><\/p>\n This section provides the reference standards or publications relevant to the particular standard.<\/span><\/p>\n The clause explains terms and definitions applicable to the specific standard and any formal related terms and definitions standard.<\/span><\/p>\n Clause 4 has four subclauses: 4.1) Understanding the organisation and its context; 4.2) Understanding the needs and expectations of stakeholders; 4.3) Determining the scope of the management system; and 4.4) The management system. The section describes why the organisation exists. The organisation needs to identify internal and external issues that can impact its intended outcomes and all stakeholders and their expectations. It also needs to document its scope and set the boundaries of the management system.<\/span><\/p>\n Top management is accountable for all management systems. They need to integrate the management system into the core business process, ensure the system achieves its intended outcomes and allocate the necessary resources. Top management is also responsible for communicating the importance of the system to heighten employee awareness and involvement. Clause 5 has three sub-clauses: 5.1) Leadership and commitment; 5.2) Policy; and 5.3) Organisational roles, responsibilities and authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n Having identified risks and opportunities, the organisation needs to specify how these risks will be managed. The management system’s objectives should be measurable, monitored, communicated, aligned to the system’s policy and updated when needed. This proactive approach replaces preventive actions and reduces the need for corrective actions later. Clause 6 has two sub-clauses: 6.1) Actions to address risks and opportunities, and 6.2) Management system objectives and planning to achieve them.<\/span><\/p>\n After addressing the context, commitment and planning, organisations need to look at the support needed to meet their goals and objectives. This includes resources, targeted internal and external communications, and documented information that replaces previously used terms such as documents, documentation and records. Clause 7 has five sub-clauses: 7.1) Resources; 7.2) Competence; 7.3) Awareness; 7.4) Communication; 7.5) Documented information.<\/span><\/p>\n The bulk of the management system requirements specific to the topic under consideration is within this single clause. Clause 8 addresses both in-house and outsourced processes. In contrast, overall management of the process includes adequate criteria to control these processes and ways to manage planned and unintended change. Clause 8 has only one sub-clause: 8.1) Operational planning and control.<\/span><\/p>\n Decisions are required on how performance will be monitored, measured, analysed and evaluated. Internal audit activities are part of the process to ensure the management system conforms to the organisation’s requirements and is successfully implemented and maintained. Management review evaluates whether the management system is suitable, adequate and effective. Clause 9 has three subclauses: 9.1) Monitoring, measurement, analysis and evaluation; 9.2) Internal audit; 9.3) Management review;<\/span><\/p>\n The requirement for continual improvement in performance and enhanced delivery of stakeholder expectations should be embedded in all management system standards. Clause 10 has two sub-clauses: 10.1) Non-conformity and corrective action, and 10.2) Continual improvement. Clause 10 looks at ways to address non-conformities and corrective action, as well as strategies for improvement continually.<\/span><\/p>\n At CRI<\/span><\/strong>\u00ae<\/span>\u00a0Group, our experts can help your organisation implement ISO 37001, ISO 31000, and ISO 19600 seamlessly integrate these management systems.
