In IRIS, "Although the ISO 9001:2008 standard only provides requirements for quality management systems, these requirements are understood as requirements for a more general business management system. Therefore all Processes are integrated in the business management system."

Here, what does mean of "business management system"? What does it include? show me some examples.
Business = company, enterprise, or firm ?
Business management system = financial management, marketing management, human resource management, strategic management, production management, operation management, service management, knowlege management and information technology management. ?


Thanks.

Re: Business Management System in IRIS (International Rail Industry Standard)

Well, we had the same problem - it came out that this is the quality management system PLUS some financial aspects, because IRIS calls for Cost Management in projects - clause 7.4.4; a separate process for it is required. In practice, our Business Controller was interviewed during the audit.

I've to admit that I am not familiar with the IRIS standard but in general usage, it includes all that you suggested (not forgetting EHS).

I would agree with Harry that it includes all you mention here.

If you look at the standard, you can see some of the specific processes it requires in addition to any 9001 requirements. Topics like a business plan, tender management, project management (in my opinion the biggest addition), RAMS/LCC, obsolescence... There are also mandatory KPIs.
