Good Practice on Management System in the UK: Management System Manual in EDF Energy UK Nuclear Generation. Appendix II

Full text: A management system manual has been developed which sets out clearly how the Nuclear Generation business operates. This includes all the necessary core elements of a management system from the vision, mission, and key policies to individual responsibilities, governance arrangements and documentation structure. In addition, the following key elements have been identified as good practice: - The document is maintained as a live document and is updated in line with all organisational changes; - The document is structured to allow effective linkage to all supporting documents thereby maintain a consistent framework across the organisation i.e., there is effective link form the policy document, company standards and specifications to the working documents thereby enabling clarity and configuration control; - The management system is expansive and provides linkage to relationship with all key stakeholders including regulator, key suppliers and public; - Training is provided on the management system to all staff to help provide clarity on their role, expected behaviours, interfaces as well as providing clarity on how the organisation functions.
