Water efficiency management systems for transport drinking water supply

The quantity of management systems standards (MSSs) is increasing every year. Standards are significantly associated with common requirements and differences for many providers of services as well as for manufactures. The drinking water supply management system is certainly one of the important services. The aim of this article is to introduce a basic application of management system (MS) using visual management. The standard applied in a model, defined as a complex solitaire or “singlet”, is the Water Efficiency Management Systems (WEMS) standard. Visualised model is built by creating clusters using a software program designated for Small World Networks. This phase is preceded by the compilation of Excel spreadsheets, where requirements are divided into common and specific ones. The resulting cluster of selected areas includes the context of organizations that provide services, considering the common and specific requirements of interesting parties, managing their leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement. It could be very useful to extend the cluster by another standard depending on the needs of the drinking water supplier and the transport piping systems at the site. This approach to management systems intensively clarifies managerial decision-making processes related to the implementation of the WEMS.
