The ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS), first published in 1987, is a standard that provides requirements on the infrastructure of an organization, with main focus on the satisfaction of its customers with the products and services offered. ISO50001 energy management systems (EnMS), first published in 2011, is an international standard focusing on energy management. It provides organizations with a framework and a systematic approach to manage and continually improve their energy performance, energy efficiency, and energy consumption. It too provides requirements on the infrastructure of an organization.

Nowadays, many customers, especially government agencies, require the supplier organizations to be certified to these standards in order to obtain their products and services. The two standards have been implemented by a wide range of organizations, including industrial/manufacturing as well as services. They have several common characteristics and synergies as well as some distinct differences.

This presentation outlines

a) the history and objectives of each approach,

b) a summary of the principles of each methodology and

c) the different roles and responsibilities required for the implementation of each.

It then proceeds to compare the two methodologies point by point, highlighting their main similarities, differences and synergies. An implementation strategy of the two methodologies is then suggested with different scenarios, taking into consideration different decision criteria and the optimization of their synergies.
