Certification Of Integrated Management Systems (IMS)
Making a mark in the global competitive market is quite a tough venture for any emerging company or firm. Several firms selling the same product would try to capture the market monopoly as fast as possible.
Hence, the new budding entrepreneurs rely on unique and out-of-the-box ideas to make it into the big league. Even existing big names also invest in unique projects to expand their market.
But nowadays millennial consumers are looking out for sustainable products. With the rise of the go-green, consumers are looking for eco-friendly products as well as good quality.
Hence, consumers greatly rely on ISO certification of the product for the assurance of great quality. On the other hand, companies must depend on a management system, which will help the components of the business to run smoothly, especially an Integrated Management System.
What is a management system?
The management system helps in coordinating all the sectors of our firms appropriately to reach the desired objective. Management systems models are also responsible for looking after the office’s health and safety, proper workplace environment, and workplace being eco-friendly, etc.
The management systems are generally modeled by management system consultants. The management system consultants help in the issuing of the ISO certifications.
What is an ISO certificate?
Consumers while buying a product always look out for the quality of the product. The companies compete in assuring the customers of the quality of their products through different advertisements on social media, press, TV commercials, etc.
However, in recent times a certification is issued from different management system consultants who help in legalizing the quality of the product. This certificate is known as the ISO certificate. Every product has to have an ISO certificate to have legal standardization and for the consumers to be aware of the quality.
Otherwise, the consumers of the company’s products will not win over the consumers’ trust. Other than the quality, ISO certification also states whether the product has proper guidelines, or whether it is eco-friendly or not. The ISO certification of being good quality, being an environmentally friendly product, and having healthy and safe guidelines is done through the Integrated Management system.
ISO certification is also done for different sectors like railways, information, communications, etc. Different Management system consultants aid the companies in making an ISO certification for the product.
What is an Integrated Management system?
Quality, eco-friendly (sustainability), and assurance (guidelines) – In this modern era these three important virtues must be possessed by an organization. A management system in which all these three elements are combined into a single sector that acts as a highly effective working unit is known as an Integrated Management System.
This management system works in a smooth process which helps in avoiding multiple work and duplication of work that would have been done separately for the three different sectors. The ISO certificate of the product of the Integrated Management system has three different types of ISO Management certificates together.
Where can I get my ISO certificate through the Integrated Management system?
ISO certificates are generally made for different firms or companies as management system consultants. But the ISO certificates of the Integrated Management system are provided to the company by the Integrated Management system consultant.
Like the management system consultants, Integrated management system consultants are also present in several numbers in different major cities which are located in different states across the country. The three types of ISO certificates are required in this management system, for three types of ISO management systems that are included in the integrated Management system.
What types of ISO certification are involved in the integrated management system?
Similar to the management systems consultant, integrated management consultants take over the process of issuing ISO certificates. But in the case of the Integrated Management systems consultant, the consultancy has to issue three ISO certificates together. The three ISO certificates which the integrated management consultants have to issue are –
1. ISO 9001: 2015 – As mentioned earlier, the consumer always looks out or tries to find out the product with the best quality. This particular certification is important as it helps in legalizing the quality of the product. Therefore, this particular certification stands for supervision of standard quality.
2. ISO 45001: 2018 – Assurance for healthy and safe working is the fundamental right of every worker around the world. This particular ISO certificate ensures a comfortable environment and safety for the workers and the employees who are working in the firm.
3. ISO 14001:2015 – In the 21st century, as people are becoming more environmentally conscious, global citizens are trying to find out alternative and greener solutions to the problems of global warming and other eco hazards. Thus, people are finding more sustainable and eco-friendly ways. This particular ISO certificate is the legalization that the firm has an eco-friendly environment and their products are eco-friendly as well.
Benefits of the Integrated Management system
There are mainly two benefits of integrated Management systems. Those are –
i. Giving a competitive edge in the market by having a legalized advantage.
ii. Attracting new clients and avoiding the turning away of potential customers with the presentation of the ISO certificates.
Final Words
Hence, we find the Integrated Management system to be effective in terms of quality, eco-friendly factors, and a work-friendly environment in the concerned organization.
