Ecological and Economic Effects of Web-based Integrated Management Systems

Abstract

Companies often employ independent management systems for quality, environment as well as work protection and safety. Since these systems are accordingly oriented to the same target group in companies and possess an identical structure for the most part, it is possible to integrate these into a single holistic system. The complexity of those connected via these measures may thereby be reduced, thus such a system may be realized as an intranet solution. Via this web basis, the possibility is thus opened of integrating powerful features such as document management, science management, portal construction and authorization concepts with their capabilities into integrated management systems. Thus users are given the chance of working efficiently and in goal-oriented manner upon applying management systems, thereby in turn leading to an increase in both the economic as well as the ecological effects by realizing these systems.
