Management System Benefits

There are four main benefits for organizations that formalize their quality, environmental or health & safety management system.

1: Tools to Prevent Problems

The Standards contain many tools to help managers prevent problems from occurring.  In most cases, companies that spend $1 on problem prevention save between $10- $100 in failure costs such as scrap, re-work, overtime, unhappy customers, employee injuries, increased insurance premiums, etc.  In fact, some organizations justify the expense of becoming registered by the savings generated from prevented problems.

2: Improved Consistency and Control of Operations

Managers gain more control over the operations and are able to increase the day-to-day consistency of the organization.  From the customer’s point of view, greater consistency usually means higher customer satisfaction.  Formalized management systems can also help reduce the impact of employee turnover on organizations.

3: Continual Improvement

Some of the standards provide tools to identify and act on cost takeout and customer service improvement opportunities.  Management systems force the Management Team to be more responsible and accountable for continual improvement

4: Marketing Potential

Some customers perceive organizations with a registration as being more disciplined, more trustworthy and providing higher levels of product and service quality.  In some industries, registration is a requirement to do business.
