PAS 99 Integrated Management
PAS (Publicly Available Specification) is the world's finest integrated management system requirements specification based on the six common requirements of ISO guide 72 (a standard for writing management system standards)
Who is it relevant to?
Integrated management is suitable for any organisation, regardless of size or sector, looking to integrate two or more of their management systems into one cohesive system with a holistic set of documentation, policies, procedures and processes.
Benefits include:
- Reduced costs
By avoiding duplication in internal audits, document control, training and administration, adopting future management systems will be much more effective.
- Time savings
By having only one management review.
- A holistic approach to managing business risks
By ensuring that all consequences of any action are taken into account, including how they affect each other and their associated risks.
- Reduced duplication and bureaucracy
By having one set of processes ensures the requirements of the specific standards are co-ordinated, workloads streamlined and disparate systems avoided.
- Less conflict between systems
By avoiding separate ‘empires’ for the likes of quality and environment, responsibilities are made clear from the outset.
- Improved communication, both internal and external
By having one set of objectives, a team approach culture can thrive and improve communication.
- Enhanced business focus
By having one system linked to the strategic objectives of the business contributes to the overall continual improvement of the organization.
- Improved staff morale and motivation
By involving and linking roles and responsibilities to objectives, it makes change and new initiatives easier to implement and makes for a more dynamic and successful company.
- Optimised internal and external audits
By minimizing the number of audits required and maximizing the number of people involved.
