Building an Efficient, Unified Management System
Many organizations maintain separate management systems for quality (ISO 9001), environment (ISO 14001), and health & safety (ISO 45001). This often leads to duplicated documentation, redundant audits, and siloed processes.
A System Integration Strategy defines how to combine these into a single Integrated Management System (IMS). Because modern ISO standards share a common High-Level Structure (HLS), integration enables shared processes for leadership, risk management, objectives, and continuous improvement.
BQCIS helps organizations plan and implement this integration—identifying overlaps, harmonizing documentation, and aligning performance indicators—to create a streamlined, effective system that meets all requirements collectively.
Key Integration Strategy Activities
System Mapping & Gap Analysis
Analyzing your current systems to identify common processes, duplicated documentation, and opportunities for alignment.
Harmonization & Documentation Planning
Developing a framework for unified policies, objectives, and audit plans—resulting in one integrated management manual.
Key Benefits of an Integration Strategy
Reduce Duplication & Bureaucracy
Removes redundant procedures, policies, and audits—simplifying day-to-day management.
Streamline Audits & Reviews
Conduct one unified internal audit and management review instead of several separate ones.
Gain a Holistic View of Risk
Manages quality, environmental, and safety risks under one consistent strategic umbrella.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Reduces time and administrative effort required to sustain multiple certification systems.
Success Story
Strategy Development Unifies QMS and EMS
A manufacturer held ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications under separate systems, creating duplicated forms and conflicting requirements.
BQCIS facilitated a structured System Integration Strategy workshop—mapping shared clauses, identifying overlaps, and creating a unified process-based management framework.
The company reduced its audit duration by 40% and integrated corrective actions and management reviews. They now operate under a single IMS, ready for combined certification.
