What this is

Management System Framework Models shows how an organisation's management system can be catalogued, accessed and reviewed through a single organisational hierarchy. Each model sets the elements of a recognised framework against the departments of an organisation. Every intersection shows what that department owns in that element, the documents that would typically sit there, and why they belong there.

Many organisations run their management system in separate parts that never quite meet. A regulated safety system is owned by one function, and each other department keeps its own policies, procedures and controls. Each part is audited separately and speaks its own language. People cannot see how their work fits the whole system, and gaps between the parts go unnoticed.

One framework is applied across the whole organisation, not only to operations and safety. The framework provides a common structure; each department keeps ownership of the substance of its work. The same set of documents can then be viewed through different frameworks, so an organisation can present its system in the way it prefers without maintaining parallel document sets.

Each model is a worked example, not a real organisation's system. The document names are typical of the industry and are there to show the pattern.

• ·Upstream Oil & Gas Company — an operator applying IOGP 510 across the whole organisation, also viewable through the Energy Institute Process Safety Management framework.
• ·Generic — each framework as published, with no organisation-specific adaptations.
• ·Further industry examples will be added over time.

This work sits alongside Synapse, Trinity Technical Authorities' management system platform. Synapse is the system in which documents are held and governed. These models show the structure beneath it: how a management system is organised, and how any document can be placed within it.

• ·Choose an organisation and a framework on the home page.
• ·Read down a column to see one department's footprint across every element.
• ·Read across a row to see how one element is shared between departments.
• ·Open any cell to see example documents and why they sit there.
• ·Use meeting mode to walk a department through its footprint on screen.

• ·Models for other industries.
• ·Departmental views, such as an engineering design, integrity and operations view, and a safety case view.
• ·Document-level records that carry their position in every framework.
• ·Export to Word and PowerPoint for offline reference.
