Workshop on Integrating Management Systems
13 -14 March 2009: New Delhi
The first Management System Standard, ISO 9001 was published in 1987. Nobody could guess that one day ISO 9001 would become synonymous with quality certification the world over. The overwhelming success of the Quality Management Systems motivated the development of other Management System themes on Environment, Health and Safety of employees, Social Accountability, Information Security, Food Safety and others. Depending on the scope sectors and priorities, organizations adopted these management systems in different combinations and at different times.
One of the fallouts of the multiple systems is the multiplication of effort in developing, maintaining and complying to the requirements, and in case of external audits, demonstrating conformance. With organizations getting leaner, surely the burden to maintain a seemingly gargantuan collage of documents merits easing. Besides the co-adoption of systems should lead to benefits which are together more than the sum of their parts.
The Workshop on Integrating Management Systems is designed to provide a successful approach towards integrating existing/certified systems with an open format to cater to future additions.
The programme covers management of stakeholders’ interests, processes, objectives, documents, risk management, internal audits and management reviews in an integrated environment through interactive sessions and hands on workshops. The Course contents are based on British Standard PAS 99, which is the only published Standard giving requirement for an Integrated Management Systems and ISO Guide 72 that provides vital inputs on the elements that are common for all management Systems. The programme is highly beneficial for individuals responsible for management systems in their organizations and for those who are deputizing for them.
