Injuries, spills, and service-delivery failures often are the result of poorly managed risk and inadequate planning. At their worst, the incidents cost lives, cause environmental damage, and result in financial liability and poor public perception of the company and the industry. To mitigate risk and plan for zero-defect production, functional management systems have been created. These management systems are very well-established and have improved performance within the specific function. However, deployment of these systems can create organizational misalignment, prioritization chaos, and divide scarce resources. Integrating health, safety and environment (HSE) and quality into a process-based system reduces or eliminates these problems and creates a seamless method of delivering superior performance.
