Implementing a Management System

LRQA is committed to providing support for clients and organisations setting out on the certified management system route. To help you on your way, we've developed a series of articles focusing on system implementation issues - taken from an LRQA viewpoint and importantly, from an independent consultant viewpoint.

Links to guidance on implementation is currently available for:

Quality Management Systems (QMS)

• Implementing a QMS — a Consultant's Viewpoint

Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)

Read together, we believe these articles will help organisations looking at implementing management systems, choosing their certification body or working towards developing existing systems.
