QUMsult GmbH & Co. KG.

QUMsult accompanies and advises companies on quality, environment, energy and occupational health and safety.

Clients from various industries receive support in implementing and maintaining their management systems (e.g. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, ISO 45001, IATF 16949 as well as ISO 13485). QUMsult helps to ensure that certifications by any certifier run smoothly.

A functioning quality management system creates satisfied customers. They are the basic prerequisite for the economic success of any company.

An environmental management system is an original component of sustainability management. Transparency and evaluation of resource consumption and other effects on the environment contribute to their conservation. Sensitization of employees can have an impact on private behavior.

A climate management system makes it possible to systematically plan and organize all relevant aspects and to position the company for the future, e.g. through GHG balance, reduction measures and reports as well as CO2 compensation.

The topic of energy is becoming increasingly important, as the cost of energy will continue to rise in the future, and an energy management system provides companies with the necessary structure for this. In the future, the reimbursement of charges for energy will depend even more on whether a company can prove that it has an energy management system. In some cases, a certified system in accordance with ISO 50001 (§§ 40 f. EEG) will be mandatory.

An occupational health and safety management system takes into account social aspects of sustainability in the company. Risk assessments and noise measurements help to improve the safety and health of employees.

Customers are also supervised and supported in:

• the regular assessment of whether legal requirements are being met (legal compliance audits)
• the tasks of management representatives
• the function of required representatives
• Training and instruction of employees (e.g. auditor training).
