Benefits of Implementing Integrated System
An Integrated Management System provides uncountable benefits - both tangible and intangible. A typical organisation would enjoy the following:
- easier maintenance of the various management systems by eliminating redundancies in documentation and reduce duplication of efforts by integrating several portfolios and processes together
- when it comes to certification, such a system can be assessed in a single audit, while achieving certification to a number of different standards
- the elimination of multiple audits helps to save time, reduce cost of audit fees and minimize disruptions to the organisation’s business
- with a single system, there is better utilisation of resources, lesser ambiguities and conflicts in responsibilities and priorities, and a more unified focus.
