Do we need capabilities in our management system?

To be agile and adaptive, the production systems need to be able to meet the changing market requirements regarding product characteristics, quantities, on-time delivery, and cost. Most of the production companies in Europe have or have pretended to be certified for management systems ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management) and OHSAS 18001 (occupational health and safety management system specification) as well. On top of that, asset-intensive companies are implementing ISO 55000:2014 (Standards for Asset Management), that enables them to assure that they use corporation assets correctly. All these management systems are complementary and are the base for business process management. When a company has documented processes, it becomes the valuable asset for analyses and optimisation. The current article arguments that the business process management, including risks, qualifications, objectives, opportunities, etc. are not enough for smooth enterprise management without capability planning and management. Authors suggest that in addition to ISO demand companies must have documented and managed capabilities.
