Sofema Online (SOL) www.sofemaonline.comconsiders the requirements to ensure compliance with - GM1 ATM/ANS.OR.B.005 Management system (ED Decision 2020/008/R)
Definitions and Concept of a Management System
ISO 9000 series of standards define a management system as a 'set of interrelated or interacting elements to establish policy and objectives and to achieve those objectives'.
Another available definition of management system is the following: ‘The structure, processes and resources needed to establish an organisation's policy and objectives and to achieve those objectives.'
Traditionally, separate management systems were developed to address issues such as safety, quality, environment, health and safety, finance, human resources, information technology and data protection. However, it is foreseen that more and more the services providers will establish integrated management systems following the harmonised set of requirements in this Regulation.
Measuring the effectiveness of your company's quality system should be an essential element of the management of your overall quality management system strategy.
The process starts with a review of the organizational QMS policy together with a detailed gap analysis to assess full compliance with all regulatory obligations.
Having established regulatory compliance a further measure for assessing the strength of QMS is to employ a formal “internal” compliance audit process which will be set against an expected organisational standard.
