administration (in this context)


Explanation:
"Gestion" is sometimes used to mean administration rather than management. The context here suggests this is appropriate (procedures and administration manual).

gestions
controls


Explanation:
gestions is in the plural, as if the writer was insisting upon the fact that they are several. "The managements of the management system" ???
A dictionary, Dictionnaire de l'informatique (Langues pour tous), written by a Frenchman, has translated position control as gestion des postes/data control as gestion de l'information, message control as gestion des messages.
So it might used here as control include both check and change, contrary to the French contrôle which should be only check.
