Integrated Management Systems
Since these management systems contain several intended overlaps, two or more subsystems may be combined into one integrated management system (IMS).

The organisations benefit from the following consequential advantages
-
Utilisation of synergy effects e.g. by homogenous procedures and processes
-
Leaner documentation by consolidating the subsystems into one documentation
-
Increasing the efficiency by avoiding duplication of work
-
Overview and simplification of complex process and organisational structures
-
Cost effectiveness resulting from shorter auditing periods (internally and externally)
Combination into a single integrated management system is possible with a minimum of two systems, regardless of their constellation.
