The main objective of the course is to get knowledge of the different management systems used in the chemical industry, together with their implementation, maintenance and auditing processes and the reference Standards associated. The discipline will focus on the three basic systems: quality management, environmental management, and risk prevention management, as well as their integration in an overall, unique system.
The content of this discipline in the guide of the degree is as follows: Quality management: implementation, maintenance and certification. Quality management: ISO 9001. Environmental management: ISO 14001 and EMAS. Sustainability (waste minimization plans, etc). Risk prevention management: OHSAS 18001. Integrated management system: Quality, environmental and risk prevention.
Thus, the content has been structured in six chapters:
Chapter 1: Basic concepts. Management systems. National and international Standards (ISO, EN, UNE…). Certification. Continual improvement process. PDCA system.
Chapter 2: Quality management. ISO 9001. EFQM model. Total quality. Quality costs. Quality tools.
Chapter 3: Environmental management. ISO 14001. EMAS. Emissions and their control. Residues and their management. Sustainability.
Chapter 4: Risk prevention management. OHSAS 18001 and ISO 45001. Safety for workers and facilities. Health and ergonomics. Risks: probability and severity.
Chapter 5: Auditing management systems. General concepts and types. Stages in the audit process. Audit techniques.
Chapter 5: Integration of management systems. Similarities and differences of the systems. Integrated systems: advantages and inconveniencies. Integration plan and UNE 66177. Evidences for an integrated system.

A continuous monitoring of learning will be carried out, by means of the development of different activities, projects and/or resolution of problems, accounting for 20% of the grade. The work carried out in the group tutorial sessions will be evaluated and will account for 20% of the grade. After the lectures, and exam with theoretical and practical questions and problems will be carried out, corresponding to 60% of the grade. 30% of the grade will be necessary IN EACH PART to pass the discipline.
Assistance to the group tutorial sessions is mandatory to pass the discipline. The qualifications of the continuous monitoring activities and group tutorial work will be communicated to the student before the exam. The evaluation system will be the same for the two opportunities of examination. Marks will not be kept for other academic years.
- Evaluation system:
Activity; % grade; (% minimum in the activity, if applicable); Required; Competence evaluation
Continuous evaluation activities; %grade: 20%; CG.1, CG.5, CG.6, CG.8, CB.9, CE.5, CE.6
Group tutorial; % grade: 20% (min. 30%); Mandatory; CG.1, CG.3, CG.5, CG.6, CG.8, CB.9, CB.10, CE.2
Exam: % grade: 60% (min. 30%); CG.8, CE.5, CE.6
The grade needed to pass the discipline is 5,0. If it is detected that any assignments or tests were carried out in a fraudulent manner by the students, the document "Regulations for assessment of the academic performance of the students and for revision of marks" ("Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico ods estudants e de revisión das cualificacións") will be of application.
The discipline has a total load of 3.0 ECTS, splitted as: 12h for expositive lectures, 7h interactive lectures and seminars, and 2h group tutorials. The workload for students is estimated as 54h. Total: 75h.
