Management Systems

Implementing a management system is only the first step of a long journey. It is the continuous training, monitoring and evaluation of that system give the real benefit of having a management system because that is the area which gives you more insights about your organisation for improvement. People changes, business offering changes, legal changes etc. are other reasons where you need a dedicated focus in maintaining your management system.

Since maintaining a system is not your core business, it is always advisable to partner with somebody who focused in that area.

This eliminates a lot of dependencies and time investment from a management point of view, where they can focus on their core business.

At Anitech, we support our clients in maintaining their system with flexible engagement models. This also helps our clients to get access to our consultant pool’s vast knowledge and best practices which get updated regularly with their different client and other engagement exposure.

Businesses face tight budget challenges as costs quickly accumulate at the end of every month. A significant portion of these expenses can be attributed to the electricity used for operations unknown to most businesses.

Cost per kilowatt-hour ($/kWh) or cost per kilovolt-ampere ($/kVA) rates directly proportional to a company’s maximum or peak demand are the norm for businesses. In addition, they may incur a penalty or “demand charge” if they exceed the maximum demand specified in their contract or electricity plan.

Manufacturing medical devices is one of the most high-risk industries, with stringent quality systems and product requirements. The regulatory requirements ensure that medical device manufacturers consistently design, produce, and market safe and effective products.

ISO 13485 is an independent QMS standard derived from the globally recognised and accepted ISO 9000 quality management standards. ISO 13485 adapts the previous version of ISO 9001, ISO 9000:2008, to manufacturing medical devices in a regulated environment.

ISO 13485 is based on the ISO 9001 process model concepts of Plan, Do, Check, and Act; however, it is more prescriptive and requires a more thoroughly documented QMS.

The ISO 13485 standard is efficient for fulfilling the extensive QMS requirements. Implementing ISO 13485 enables manufacturers to address regulations and responsibilities while demonstrating a commitment to the quality and safety of medical devices.

Unlike others, ISO 13485 doesn’t require Certification.

An environmental management system, also known as an EMS, consists of the policies, processes, plans, practices, and records that define the rules that govern how your organisation interacts with the environment. This system must be customised for your business, as only then your organisation will have the exact legal requirements and environmental interactions that correspond to your unique business processes. However, the ISO 14001 requirements provide a framework and a set of guidelines for developing your environmental management system so that you do not omit any essential elements required for a successful EMS.

Food Safety is the practice of handling, preparing, and storing food in a manner that minimises the risk of foodborne illness.

HACCP is a management system that ensures food safety by analysing and controlling biological, chemical, and physical hazards from the production, procurement, and handling of raw materials to the manufacturing, distribution, and consumption of the final product.

HACCP is an effective tool for assessing hazards and establishing prevention-oriented control systems, as opposed to relying primarily on end-product testing.

An experienced HACCP consultant will assist the organisation in identifying product risks, developing strategies and action plans to minimise and manage those risks, and implementing those plans.

ISO 45001 is the first International Standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management System created to combat the ever-rising work incidents, illnesses, and deaths worldwide. It provides a framework to increase safety, reduce workplace risks and enhance health and well-being at work, enabling businesses to improve their OH&S performance.

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), more than 2.78 million deaths yearly result from occupational accidents or work-related diseases and 374 million nonfatal injuries and illnesses. In addition to the tremendous effect on families and communities, the cost to businesses and economies is substantial. The construction and manufacturing industry is prone to more accidents due to manual labour.

The alarming fatalities at work led to the creation of the ISO 45001 standard that provides guidelines and policies for organisations to mandatorily follow to safeguard employee health and safety.

Standards for quality assurance systems, such as ISO 9001, are frameworks that give organisations guidelines to follow to ensure that their procedures, materials, goods, and services can satisfy customer demands, ensure quality output, live up to their promises, and meet their statutory and regulatory obligations.

A Quality Assurance Framework offers a set of controls that enterprises need to assign to overcome shortcomings and strengthen their quality management systems (QMS). These should comply with the standard guidelines.

Business organisations can ensure quality using a process-based approach and risk management with the help of ISO’s general standard framework. It lays out specifications for their quality assurance systems, enabling organisations to compare the quality of their goods and services and satisfy legal and regulatory requirements. By assisting organisations to exceed their quality expectations, the ISO 9001 standard seeks to empower them and create a loyal customer base.
