Definition
A gap analysis is a process used to assess the current state of your facility’s EMS. Other similar processes are “initial environmental reviews (IERs)” or “environmental management system reviews (EMRs).”

Purpose of a Gap Analysis
• Identify gaps between your current management systems and the EMS standard
• Collect policies, procedures, programs, metrics, and personnel that support the current EMS
• Establish a list of actions to achieve conformance with the standard

Conducting a Gap Analysis
• Analysts must be familiar with EMS framework
• Allow several days to complete data collection
• Prepare a summary report and provide to participants

• Document review
• Staff interviews
• Identify and document gaps

Facility Walk Through
• Identify Activities, Products, and Services– Main reason for facility’s existence– Support activities
• Develop Comprehensive Picture of Facility– Maps– Pictures– Lists of buildings and organizations
