class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which functional areas in the company should an IMS cover?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The functional areas that an IMS should cover within the company include, for example, business processes, continuous improvement, document control and risk management. It functions much more efficiently than management systems that are isolated from each other. A process-oriented quality management system therefore forms the basis of modern corporate management.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does an &#8220;integrated management system&#8221; work?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An &#8220;integrated management system&#8221; clearly presents processes, resources and organizational structures and discloses key figures and objectives. Requirements resulting from company and legal specifications are included. This enables management capacities to be saved and supports employees in implementation.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does it make sense to introduce an IMS?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the above-mentioned savings in management capacity and employee support, an IMS has other advantages. This is particularly true if it is linked to an ERP system for resource planning. Users can then view the documentation of the respective process at any time. They receive a comprehensive overview of the processes, always have all the information they need quickly to hand and require less training time. An IMS is therefore a powerful strategic tool for continuously improving company processes &#8211; which is particularly interesting for multinational companies.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I recognize a good IMS? The most important components at a glance <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main component of a user-friendly &#8220;integrated management system&#8221; should always be clear process documentation. After all, the focus is on business processes. The system becomes even more efficient with a connected user and document management system. Another important component is risk management, which assesses potential risks to operations and develops measures to safeguard against them.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The continuous improvement process (CIP) as an important building block<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The continuous improvement process (CIP) is a basic principle of quality management and is therefore also indispensable for an &#8220;integrated management system&#8221;. This should support the CIP in its sustainable implementation. A system of key figures and the mapping of organizational structures round off a lean, efficient IMS.  <i><\/i><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further reading:<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.doosanlentjes.com\/download\/pdf\/csr\/Integriertes_MMH.pdf\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.doosanlentjes.com\/download\/pdf\/csr\/Inte&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.springerprofessional.de\/informationssicherheit-und-datenschutz-systematisch-und-nachhalt\/17020582\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.springerprofessional.de\/informationssi&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-custom-faq-accordion\"><div class=\"faqab\"><h2 class=\"faqab-title\">FAQ on Integrated Management System (IMS)<\/h2><div class=\"faqab-accordion\"><div class=\"faqab-item\"><details open=\"\"><summary class=\"faqab-question\"><div class=\"faqab-question-header\"><div class=\"faqab-question-text\"><h2 class=\"faqab-h4\">What is an integrated management system (IMS)?<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"faqab-question-icon\"><span class=\"faqab-icon faqab-icon-opened\"><svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M6 9L12 15L18 9\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" transform=\"rotate(180 12 12)\"><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"faqab-icon faqab-icon-closed\"><svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M6 9L12 15L18 9\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"faqab-answer\"><div>An integrated management system bundles various specialized management systems such as quality, environmental, occupational and information security management into a uniform structure.
