Methodology

By using a combination of the Assessment Tools described under the various Risk management disciplines we are able to define the priority Risk Areas & key Market Requirements for you to meet Corporate Legislative & Customer demands.

Integrated System Structure
This evaluation & analysis is translated into a clear Integrated System structure which can then be systematically developed from scratch or alternatively can be used as a benchmark/baseline against which your current system can be evaluated & any gaps actioned.

Training
Your Management Team & Key Personnel will acquire the knowledge & skills to be able to utilise the various tools & techniques embedded in the System to drive measurable Risk management benefit.

Risk Assessments/Strategy into action

  • OH&S – HIRA
  • Environment – Aspects/Impacts assessment
  • Food Safety - HACCP
  • Business processes – Process Risk & Capability Assessment
  • Legislation – Scoping & compliance assessment
Using the appropriate combination of these tools, the priority Pre Requisite/Control mechanisms are identified, developed & their sustainable implementation facilitated. We turn the theory into daily practice in your business.

Common Management Systems & Processes
Common, mandatory management processes are formalised in integrated process procedures – making your management task that much simpler & more effective. Examples of these include:-

  • Document Management – the effective control of both internally generated and documents of external origin using clear format templates and a master document register. Cross referencing of documents to multiple international standards and the use of unique document titles renders document numbering obsolete and also simplifies document access for general users
  • Records control – A single protocol addressing Retention Location, retention period, access control & disposal authority of all Records within the integrated System scope
  • Internal audits – using the Process Auditing principles, audits are structured & categorised, typically with the aid of a comprehensive Microsoft Access database application which guides auditors through a PDCA auditing loop & facilitates the detailed analysis of Findings for Management Review
  • Control of Non conformance – A single system most easily managed from a Microsoft Access database addressing both raw and packaging material, work In progress and finished goods as well as Occupational Health and Safety and/ or Environmental Incidents.
  • Corrective action – With the emphasis on Root Cause Analysis for any recurring or significant issue, this integrated process is embedded in a Microsoft Access application which guides the Originator through a structured set of steps & RCA tools to ensure that problems addressed do not recur.
  • Preventive Action – This much misunderstood proactive process is formalised in a procedure which defines the practical methods used to anticipate potential problems & take action to ensure they do not occur.

Hands on Facilitation
Our facilitators are rigorously screened selected Subject matter Experts each of whom has practical experience of Systems implementation. These experts form an extension of your management Team, leading & facilitating by example, by doing what is required in such a manner that capability is created within your business.

Project Management
We are PM specialists & each project is managed using current PERT techniques providing you with comprehensive status reporting & forewarnings of any anticipated slippages. We deliver on time.

Performance Measurement
Your system is established in such a way as to deliver performance Reports from the first week – enabling you to set & see the results of your Program.

Auditing
This is initiated early in the Project – ensuring effective application of the controls being implemented & developing a history of System evaluation by the time Certification becomes a realistic goal.

Management Review
Evaluation of the System’s effectiveness - both an International Standard requirement & arguably the most important date on your System calendar – we coach & mentor your team in data/information preparation, analysis & presentation, ensuring that your Management Reviews become eagerly anticipated, value adding Management meetings.

External Certification
Selection of the most appropriate Certification body for your & your Market needs, & preparation for External Certification assessments – this critical element is addressed by the lead Consultant working with your team.

Post Project Support
One of the most challenging elements of any management System is that of Change Control - & this applies equally to all of the hard work & Best Practice developed with your team over the course of such a Project. But what happens when the project is over? Best Practice development does not suddenly stop & our team continues to work with leading companies globally. How do you keep abreast of this fast & constant change?

We tailor the required level of Post Project Support your organisation needs – from Internet based arms length information & update services to onsite system maintenance audits.
