Definition
Management system is A single coherent system in which all the component parts of an organization are integrated to enable the organization’s objectives to be achieved Source: Safety Glossary 2007 Edition
Summary
Description
- These component parts include the organizational structure, resources and organizational processes.
- Personnel, equipment and organizational culture, as well as the documented policies and processes, form parts of the management system.
- The organizational processes have to address the totality of the requirements on the organization, as established by or in, for example, interested parties, IAEA safety standards and other international codes and standards.

Description
An integrated management system (IMS) is a management system which integrates all components of a business into one coherent system so as to enable the achievement of its purpose and mission. Anything which has an effect on business results must be part of te management system. Therefore, an IMS should integrate all currently formalised systems focusing on quality, health and safety, environment, personnel, finance, security etc. What this means is that all the processes and the documents that describe them would be integrated.
IAEA Guidance on Integrated Management Systems
To assist Member States the IAEA developed a set of Safety Standards that establishes requirements and provides guidance for applying an Integrated Management System for facilities and activities. The main objective of the Management System requirements is that all safety, health, environmental, security, quality and economical elements are combined in one Integrated Management System in order to assure that safety is not compromised by considering the implications of all actions with regard to safety as a whole and not in separate Management Systems.
The present set of Safety Standards for Management Systems gives clear recommendation and guidance for management systems for facilities and activities and comprises the various phases of a nuclear facility, including construction, commissioning, operation and decommissioning. A list of the relevant Safety Standards is available on this page.
Knowledge management in an Integrated Management System
"Knowledge management must be integrated into strategic planning; analysis and decision-making; implementation of plans; and, evaluation of results. This is why KM is vital to an integrated management system and is advocated by the IAEA for protecting people and the environment" [1].
