Quality and Safety Management Systems

A management system is a set of policies, procedures and procedures used by an organization to ensure that it can perform the tasks required to achieve its objectives. These goals cover many aspects of the organization's functions (including financial success, safe operation, product quality, customer relations, legal and regulatory compliance, and employee management). For example, an environmental management system allows companies to improve their environmental performance and an occupational health and safety management system allows a company to control health and safety risks, etc.

Many parts of the management system are common to a number of objectives, but others may be more specific.

The international standard ISO 9000:2015 (Title: Quality management systems - basic principles and vocabulary) defines the term in chapter 3.5.3 as "a set of interconnected or interacting elements of an organization to establish policies and objectives and procedures to achieve these objectives ".

A simplification of the main aspects of a management system is the approach of 4 elements "Plan, Do, Check, Act". A complete management system covers every aspect of management and focuses on supporting performance management to achieve the goals. The management system needs to be constantly improved as the business evolves.
