What is a management system? A management system describes the set of procedures an organization needs to follow in order to meet its objectives. In a small organization there may not be an official system, just our way of doing things. Often our way of doing things is not written down, instead it is in the head of the staff. However, the larger the organization the more likely it is that there are written instructions about how things are done. This makes sure that nothing is left out and that everyone is clear about who needs to do what, when and how. When an organization systemizes how it does things, this is known as a management system.
