Integrated Management Systems

Combined Quality and Environmental Management Systems

Integrated means combined; putting all the internal management practices into one coherent system. The ISO9000 quality management and ISO14000 environmental management standards have much in common:

  • Document development and control
  • Training
  • Internal audit
  • Management review
  • Corrective action
  • Preventive action
  • Continual improvement

There are sevaral good reasons for integration:

  • Reduce duplication and therefore costs
  • Harmonise and optimise practices
  • Create consistency
  • Improve communication
  • Turn the focus onto business goals
  • Eliminate conflicting responsibilities and relationships
  • Facilitate training and development

Clark Quality will provide an integrated management system for your business.
A complete system can be developed or additional components can be integrated into an existing system. For example, environmental management requirements for ISO14000 can be integrated into your existing ISO9000 system.
