In an organization, if you are managing the interrelated parts of the business in order to achieve goals/objectives, you are following a management system. These objectives can relate to a number of different topics, including product or service quality, operational efficiency, environmental performance, health and safety in the workplace and many more.
Management System Standards (MSS) by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) have been created to set out requirements or guidance to help organizations manage their policies and processes to achieve specific objectives. MSS are designed to be applicable across all economic sectors, various types and sizes of organizations and diverse geographical, cultural and social conditions.
