Standardized Management Systems

A management system is a set of rules and principles related to each other in an orderly manner, in order to contribute to the management of general and specific organization processes. It allows establishing policy, goals and achieving those goals. A standardized management system is a system whose requirements are set out in sectoral, national, or international standards. Organizations of all types and sizes are using standardized management systems because of the many advantages gained from its operation.

31 years ago, the first version of the document or contract of requirements for systems of Quality Management was published, nowadays known as ISO 9001. ISO 9001 has evolved into its fourth version (1987, 1994, 2000 and 2008) adapting to users’ needs. The success of this standard model has led to its use in other areas of interest adapting its content to such areas. Thus, ISO 14001 arose for the Environmental Management Systems requirements, and similarly other standards for management systems have been developing and applying:
