Are the EMS planning steps correct?: Answers

Scenario 1: Yes. All these planning steps are necessary when setting up an EMS regardless of the size of the company.

Scenario 2: No. Even though the chemical manufacturing company is smaller in size, they still need to secure top management commitment, select an EMS champion, and secure resources and assistance from top management. Not all small organizations can pick among multiple candidates, but a champion is still important to commit to the EMS-building process.
