INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR ENSURING THE QUALITY OF DRINKING WATER IN THE TRANSPORT WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Abstract
The number of standards that are included in the individual management systems standards (MSSs) is gradually rising. Standards are significantly related by common and specific requirements, both, for manufacturers and service providers. A special area of service provision is the drinking water supply. This paper aims to introduce a simplified application process of integrated management systems (IMSs) through visual management. The two standards used in a model, which is defined as a complex duplet, are Quality Management Standard (QMS) and Water Efficiency Management Standard (WEMS). Visualization is achieved by building model clusters using a software application designated for Small World Networks models. This step is preceded by the compilation of Excel spreadsheet format, where the requirements are divided into common and specific. The assessment of synergies is emphasized. The resulting visualized duplet of selected systems includes their clauses. The model is a part of the visual process, and it simplifies, speeds up and clarifies managerial decision-making processes related to the implementation of the MSSs.
