One integrated system- Our unique Quality approach
There is often a high degree of compatibility between the management system standards, although they cover different areas. Many organizations choose to build their management system into one integrated system, covering areas such as quality, health and safety, and the environment. By integrating several standards into one management system, you can eliminate duplication of work.
One audit approach
An integrated management system will allow us to keep our documentation simple by avoiding a complete set of new documentation for each individual standard.
7formations recommends its clients the best fit option in implementation but whether our clients choose this integrated system approach or build parallel management systems to cover each area, still all of business’s critical areas can be evaluated in a single combined audit.
Added value of process implementation effort
Conducting internal audits of management systems simultaneously will not only save company’s time, effort and money but also increase the effectiveness of management system. 7formations offers you a combined internal audit designed to enable cost-effective audits. Some certifying bodies also offer this kind of registration audits.
