Voith Turbo Introduces Integrated Management System

May 1, 2006
Voith Turbo received quality management certification in accordance with the international standard ISO 9001 at the beginning of the 1990. The company has since broadened their certification scope with two further modules--the ISO 14001 environmental standard and OHSAS 18001, the non sector-specific guideline for occupational health and safety. With certification according to ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001, Voith Turbo has it in writing: An integrated management system for quality, environment and occupational health and safety is firmly rooted in the company. Voith Turbo efficiently bundles together the resources of the company with the management system. Uniform processes and procedures from different areas are summarized and described. The executive board of Voith Turbo sees the expansion of the current management system as an investment in the future. The integrated management system precisely documents any relevant processes in a manual, checks their compliance and identifies clear rules for improvement measures. The company sees the introduction of the management system as a way of increasing its value, according to a Voith press release
