1. Integrated Management Systems in the Aviation Industry
Particularly in quality management systems that must fulfil regulatory requirements, potential synergies often remain underutilised. This applies especially to documentation, interfaces with other management systems and suppliers, employee qualification, continuous monitoring, and strategic planning.
The result is parallel structures, redundant processes, and unnecessary administrative effort.
To increase efficiency and transparency in the often complex organisational structures of the aviation industry, the implementation of an Integrated Management System (IMS) is recommended. An IMS consolidates existing and approved quality and management systems into a unified structure and systematically leverages existing synergies.
An effectively designed integrated management system supports organisations in meeting industry-specific and customer-specific requirements, such as:
- Requirements for approved design and production organisation (DOA und POA) i.a.w. (EU) 748/2012, Part 21, Subparts J und G
- Requirements for approved maintenance organisation (MOA) i.a.w. (EU) 1321/2014, Part 145
- Requirements for continuing airworthiness management organisations (CAMO) i.a.w. (EU) 1321/2014, Part – CAMO
- Requirements for aircraft`s operator i.a.w. (EU) 965/2012
- Advanced product quality planning (APQP i.a.w. EN 9145)
- Risk and safety management systems (RM/SM i.a.w. ISO 31000/ applicable ICAO and EASA regulations)
- IT management systems (ITMS i.a.w. ISO 27001)
- Environmental management system (EMS i.a.w. ISO 14001)
- Occupational health and safety management (OHSAS i.a.w. ISO 45001)
By integrating these requirements into a unified approach, organisations benefit from clear responsibilities, reduced redundancies, and more efficient auditability.
