Streamlining Your Certification with Integrated Management Systems
Many organizations manage multiple management systems, such as Quality (ISO 9001), Environment (ISO 14001), and Health & Safety (ISO 45001). Managing and auditing these systems separately can be costly, time-consuming, and create redundant processes. An Integrated Management System (IMS) combines all aspects of your systems into one unified framework, allowing you to manage your organization's objectives more effectively.
BQCIS specializes in conducting integrated audits, where our multi-disciplinary team assesses all your certified standards in a single, coordinated audit. This holistic approach reduces disruption to your operations, saves management time, and often leads to significant cost savings. It also provides a better overview of your organization's overall performance and helps to identify synergies and conflicts between different system objectives.
Our Integrated Audit Process
Key Benefits of an Integrated Audit
Reduced Disruption
Fewer audit days and less time spent by your staff in meetings and interviews means less disruption to your business.
Significant Cost Savings
A single audit is more efficient and cost-effective than scheduling and paying for multiple separate audits.
Holistic System View
An integrated approach helps identify synergies and conflicts between systems, leading to better overall performance.
Simplified Management
Managing one set of unified objectives, policies, and procedures is far simpler than juggling multiple systems.
Success Story
Implementing an IMS for a Leading Logistics Provider
A global logistics company held separate certifications for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, resulting in redundant paperwork, conflicting procedures, and significant audit fatigue for their team.
BQCIS facilitated a series of workshops to help the client integrate their three systems into a single IMS. We then conducted a unified certification audit covering all three standards in one event.
The client reduced their annual audit days by 50% and cut administrative overhead by an estimated 30%. The integrated system gave them a much clearer, holistic view of their business risks and performance.
