Abstract

The improvement of products and services as precondition for the business success on the market means an increase in the need for efficient management systems which in turn results in intensive development of standardization. It is in the interest of one’s own market position to monitor the shift in the development of standards and the resulting changes. Quality, environment, occupational health and safety management systems represent a modern way of organizing work and company administration so that the management of every organization, including transport companies, encounters a problem which is here set as a task. The subject of research in this paper is the analysis of the possibilities and methods, advantages and drawbacks of introducing the systems and organizing work according to the requirements of international standards applied to a transport company, from the perspective of its management. The requirements of single items of the standards have been described in order to study the concrete applicability in the transport company. The paper is a presentation of a sufficient number of clear and concise pieces of information in one place, and it has been conceived as kind of a guideline for the transport company management during decision-making about the introduction of the system pursuant to the requirements of the standards.
