It provides a structured approach for organizations to manage their facilities effectively, ensuring a safe, productive, and sustainable environment. Implementing an FMS based on ISO 41001 involves developing robust standard operating procedures (SOPs) tailored to your specific facilities and operations. Maintaining comprehensive records provides objective evidence of process effectiveness and consistent outcomes.
