INTEGRATION of Systems

Systems thinking allows us to organize people, problems, events or almost anything in terms of context, relationship, interconnectedness and hierarchy. There are two general guiding principles to systems thinking:

1. The whole is not the same as the sum of the parts, and
2. Systems are not discrete
   

Businesses are complex systems that are created to add value to the world around them, particularly for direct stakeholders. Understanding and minimizing system complexity is essential to developing a well integrated business management system.

Integration is the process of developing additional compliant management systems and seamlessly melding them into the way you do your business. The goal of integrating individual management systems such as ISO 9001, 14001 and 27001 is to help you build a world class management system. Each time you can trust QPA to help you create a customized systems thinking based solution. You know it will be an exact fit for your needs, your customers’ needs and will meet your business regulatory requirements.
 

Additionally, we explain what the standards require, and why. We offer training to ensure you have the necessary organizational awareness and understanding to benefit immediately from the solutions that have been implemented.

Whether this is your first attempt at incorporating ISO 9001 into your current system or you are adding one or more systems, such as ISO 14001 or ISO 27001, QPA can successfully integrate the new with the existing while keeping the pain of development as minimal as possible.

Every management system QPA has developed has passed third party assessment the first time – every time.
