This guide aims to show ways in which companies can reduce complexity by integrating their management systems.
Today, companies have generally introduced a quality management system. However, they are now faced with far more extensive requirements, as more and more norms and standards - such as
in the areas of the environment, occupational health and safety or energy - are gaining in importance. This development is being driven by customers, but also by society and politics. Examples of this are the industry-specific
standards of the automotive or aviation industry, tax relief through proof of an appropriate energy management system or social expectations regarding air pollution control,
noise and water protection.
This guide provides readers with texts, graphics, examples and an Excel tool to help them integrate different subject areas into their management system.
