EMS Gap Analysis Features ·

Your management System scope applies to what product lines, EMS Standard clauses, and

facilities that you are planning on registering. You do not have to register every product line. To define the scope within the Gap Analysis we look at what processes need to be included and described within the Organization. The output is a draft process map. Next we examine each clause of the EMS Standard. There are over hundreds of requirements that we count to see which ones apply and how an organization may be conforming. These requirements include mandatory records, and required procedures, manual, and many process needs that must be fulfilled, but there is a lot of leeway on how you might fulfill those requirements. ·

For example, collecting customer feedback on “deviations from needs & expectations” is a

required process and that must be measured, is a requirement, but how you do this is totally up to you. You do not have to write a procedure for this or keep a record of measurements. As odd as this sounds you have to free your mind of paper solutions and think of visual or electronic methods that could accomplish this. ·

The output of the EMS Standards “requirements” count is a histogram that shows you how

your organization stacks up, clause by clause, and a list of possible exclusions of areas within clauses that may not apply. Each exclusion claimed will require a proper justification within the Documented Framework. In the Gap Analysis we should be able to give you an idea on possible exclusions.
