What is an ISO 9001 Quality Management System?

An ISO 9001 compliant Quality Management System (QMS) is a set of procedures developed, implemented and monitored to ensure that the processes used to provide services or to manufacture products meet customer expectations consistently and in the most efficient, cost-effective way.

ISO 9001 relies on a quality policy and a quality manual which defines management and employee responsibilities, procedures, work instructions and the system designed to guarantee a company's service/product quality goals. This QMS provides companies with a method for consistently improving both service and product quality; thereby surpassing customer expectations.

What is an Environmental Management System?

ISO 14001 & Eco-Management and Audit Systems (EMAS) are two of the most comprehensive Environmental Management Systems (EMS) popularly recognised on an international basis. Their universal adoption is indicative of the effectiveness with which registration publicly demonstrates a commitment to environmental concerns, equipping the organisation with both a valuable management system and a most powerful marketing tool.

Logically, this would seem most applicable to manufacturing operations. However the process of implementing and maintaining an EMS highlights opportunities for significant cost savings regardless of industry sector.

How can an EMS help you?

An EMS helps you to:

Manage environmental risk

Reduce costs

Gain competitive edge

Minimise environmental impact

What is the H.D. Management process?

The process involved in implementing an EMS will include:

Creation of an 'Environmental Policy'
Evaluation and recording of the operation's environmental aspects/effects
Setting of measurable goals and targets that will comply with legislation
Documentation of policy objectives and proposed action
Audit and review of policy
