I'll try to explain my situation as clearly as possible, but if you require further details, please ask.
In the past, my company put all of our indicators on one page/file for each department. This included Environment. The problem (although it wasn't a problem until recently) was that this mashed all of our Routine and Improvement Indicators into one file with no clear or distinct separation between the two.
Improvement Projects were another file and showed which indicators were impacted (hopefully for the better) by these Improvement Projects.
Our Indicator file showed our goals (for the current year and for 2 additional years). The Environmental Indicators showed how each Indicator (be it Routine or Improvement) was associated with an Environmental Objective (ex. Conserve natural resources and energy).
Now that we are part of a bigger family, we have a corporate-mandated software to use for our Indicators and Projects. In this software, Objectives can only be linked to Improvement Projects (and the linked in Improvement Indicators). Routine Indicators (there is no such thing as a Routine Project) are not linked to such Objectives.
Is this a big deal with regard to the requirements of ISO 14001? Or did my momentary panic attack occur for no reason whatsoever?
Thanks!
