A management system is defined as a framework designed to manage the interrelated parts of an organization to achieve objectives by managing policies, processes, and activities. To build an effective management system within the organization, a culture of continuous evaluation, correction and improvement of operations and processes must be developed through awareness and commitment throughout the organization.

When an effective management system has been successfully developed within an organization, it can be assured that the organization is able to provide value to stakeholders through consistent and improved products and services and run processes efficiently with confidence.
