What is an Integrated Management System?

Integration may be carried out by any firm of any size, in any industry, and is often carried out to reduce operational costs and reduce a matured management solution. These systems provide links that allow processes to be controlled easily and without redundancy. An Integrated Management System is a single management system that incorporates all associated activities and components to fulfill the criteria of more than one management standard into a single overarching system meant to be simple to handle and execute.

An audit completed incorrectly might have severe implications. It can result in total process failure, decreased consumer interest and expectations, client unhappiness, irreparable environmental harm, loss of brand value, poor health, injury, or even death to personnel.

Types of ISO Audits:

There are four types of ISO Audits,
