ISOjohtamisjärjestelmästandardit

ISOjohtamisjärjestelmä is a Finnish term that translates to ISO management system. It refers to a systematic approach to managing an organization's processes and activities to achieve specific objectives and ensure compliance with international standards, primarily those published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These systems are designed to enhance efficiency, product and service quality, customer satisfaction, and environmental responsibility, among other areas.

Implementing an ISO management system typically involves defining policies, procedures, and responsibilities related to a particular area of management, such as quality (ISO 9001), environmental protection (ISO 14001), or information security (ISO 27001). The core principle of these systems is continuous improvement, which is achieved through a Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. This involves planning objectives and processes, implementing the processes, checking their effectiveness against objectives, and acting to make improvements.

Organizations adopt ISO management systems for various reasons, including gaining a competitive advantage, meeting customer or regulatory requirements, and improving internal operations. Certification by an accredited third-party body provides formal recognition that the organization's management system conforms to the specified ISO standard. This certification often serves as a mark of trust and reliability for stakeholders.
