Introduction to the...
Standards-Based Management System

The Standards-Based Management System covers the management of requirements at Brookhaven Laboratory, and the delivery of implementation methods for meeting those requirements.

The SBMS site publishes documents that show how BNL meets contract requirements, DOE requirements, etc. We use a standard format, publishing standards that comply with the Chicago Manual of Style, and quality assurance processes to ensure that all documents meet quality expectations and that content is properly integrated.

The SBMS site also has documents (such as the Supervisor's Personnel Manual) that have been taken directly from the process owner (in this case, HR) without being converted into Subject Areas. These documents have a blue background.

Behind the scenes (for most staff, but very important to upper-level management) is the Requirements Management aspect of the SBMS function. The RM function keeps track of what requirements BNL is bound to comply with, how BNL complies, and who (upper level manager) is responsible for the requirement being met.
