Systematisation is the most effective way to expand your business and achieve sustainable growth. Incorporating processes into your company provides everyone with clarity about what they must do, allowing them to step away from managerial and tactical roles and deliver results while also being accountable. This requires a structure that enables you to write down the rules for your company, so that routine tasks are taken over which allows you to concentrate on the work that is important most. A company management system is designed to achieve this purpose.
A management system for a company aims to establish a policy, procedures, and guidelines that ensure that all the functions of an enterprise are carried out in accordance with the best practices. These systems are designed to meet various corporate goals, including increasing efficiency in operations and financial success. They also seek to improve relationships with clients in terms of product quality, worker safety, and environmental performance.
They are usually constructed around the PDCA cycle and involve the creation of processes that document, analyze and implement improvements to existing processes in a systematic way. Some of them are designed to satisfy the requirements of a specific standard such as ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for sustainability or ISO 27001 for information security.
A good company management software is one that is user-friendly, and accessible to all employees. This could mean in the form of a light-weight application that lets anyone easily edit and publish new workflows or quality documents, or it could simply be creating a business process map available on an intranet. It is crucial that you can update the system in a way that it reflects the current working practices of the business. This helps reduce the possibility of it becoming obsolete as is the case with more formalised manuals or software applications which require specialist knowledge to maintain.
