What is Integrated Service Management (ISM)?
Integrated Service Management (ISM) is comprised of outsourcing activities that are peripheral to the client’s core business and daily operations. The goal of an ISM is to provide clients a lean, fully transparent, materials management process integrated with their supply base centered on the clients cost reduction initiatives.
The predominant role of an ISM is to remain SUPPLIER, BRAND AND EQUIPMENT NEUTRAL. By removing conflicts from the supply chain and properly evaluating core partners (i.e. product, service and equipment providers), an ISM is better equipped to achieve the objectives established by the client.
