The aim of this article is to analyse publications about Integrated Management Systems (IMS) and identify research opportunities. We conducted a literature review using the software EndNote to index the articles, and identified features related to IMS based on a systemic analysis. The interest of firms in implementing standards for Quality, Environmental, and Occupational Health and Safety, respectively, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 is increasing, however, managing these three separate systems is a challenge. Some of the reasons that we presented in these articles for implementing IMS include satisfying customers’ requirements and responding to government appeals. Finally, we identified from the portfolio of articles the most cited authors, articles, barriers and difficulties for implementing IMS.

Many organizations have adopted or are adopting standards and / or specifications of management systems, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, ISO / IEC 27001, ISO 22000, and ISO / IEC 20000, out of necessity or to align with trends. Unfortunately, it often results in a set of independent systems, with different goals and objectives. These fragmented systems are often documented in non-uniform styles, are under the control of different people and are audited separately. Integrated management systems (IMS) allow management to establish directions for the effective and efficient fulfillment of the organization's objectives. From managing employee needs to study the performance of competitors, encouraging good practice, and minimizing risk and maximizing resource utilization, the integrated management system approach can help the organization meet its strategic business objectives. Integration must be planned and implemented in a structured way. Many organizations have adopted the standards of the management system due to external pressures, following customer requests to implement a quality standard or external requirements to introduce an environmental system, and / or occupational health and safety [2]. On the other hand, the integration of management systems has beneficial effects on the whole business. Therefore, the first concern must be to understand the needs of the business, correlated with the mission and vision of the organization. In order to respond to the growing interest in an integrated approach to management systems and organizational risk management, the first step an organization must take is to define the common requirements of management systems. The authors aim in this article to present the advantages brought by IMS by their correct implementation within organizations. A review of the current integrated management systems is carried out and the problems that arise during use are exposed. The research includes a guide of good practices from the start to the end of an IMS implementation. Thus, the use of synergies and the integration of resources allows the creation of an efficient and simplified management system. Processes and procedures are viewed from several angles, in order to identify and optimize the IMS implementation process in order to obtain positive results.

Antecedentes: Las empresas que hacen parte del sector constructivo, debencomprometerse con la preservación del medio ambiente, la minimización del riesgo para las personas y la generación de confianza para los clientes a través del desarrollo de la cultura de la calidad y la eficiencia operativa. Los sistemas integrados de gestión, nacen en la década de los noventa como evolución de los ya existentes sistemas de calidad, de gestión ambiental y de seguridad industrial. Como antecedentes de los sistemas integrados se cuentan el MRP (Manufacturig Resource Planning) y el MAP (Manufacturig Automation Protocol). Objetivo: El objetivo del proyecto se centra en la identificación de la relación y puntos de convergencia existentes entre las normas, para la implantación del sistema integrado de gestión (SIG), en empresas de ingeniería civil que desarrollen su actividad económica en el sector constructivo colombiano. Metodología: Se realiza un análisis de la estructura de las normas objeto del estudio y se identifican los puntos de convergencia y divergencia con el fin encontrar una estructura troncal que sirva a los gerentes de las empresas de construcción como insumo de decisión para implantar sistemas integrados en gestión. Resultados: El producto fundamental es la articulación de las tres normas y su caracterización en el marco del ciclo PHVA (Planear, Hacer, Verificar y Actuar) para identificar aspectos convergentes y de complementariedad entre ellas y establecer la plataforma documental mínima para el sistema de gestión integrado. Conclusiones: Los sistemas integrados en las empresas de la construcción son una alternativa de operación productiva y organizacional que les confieren características de visibilidad, credibilidad, competitividad y rentabilidad para competir en escenarios dinámicos de negocios y garantizar el cumplimiento de los compromisos contractuales en el marco de mercados globales altamente exigentes.Abstract Background: Companies that made part of the construction sector must be committed to the preservation of the environment, minimizing the risk to people who works for each organization and generate confidence for its clients through the development of culture quality and operational efficiency. Integrated management systems started in the nineties as an evolution of existing quality systems, environmental management and industrial safety. As background of embedded systems MRP (Manufacturig Resource Planning), MAP (Manufacturig Automation Protocol) and TOP (Technical Office Protocol) are counted. Objetive: The aim of the project focuses on identifying the relationship and existing points of convergence between ISO 9001: 2008, 14001: 2004 and OHSAS 18001: 2007 for the implementation of the integrated management system (IMS) in civil engineering companies with their economic activity in the Colombian construction sector. Methodology: An analysis of the structure of each of the three standards under study is performed and the points of convergence and divergence are identified in order to find a main structure that works for managers of construction companies as input to make decisions to implement integrated management systems. Results: As a main product is obtained a comparative table that allows articulate the three standards to further characterize under the Deming cycle, or PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act). Convergence and complementarity between standards issues are identified and the minimum documentary platform for integrated management system is established. Conclusions: The integrated construction companies systems are alternative productive and organizational operation characteristics that give visibility, credibility, competitiveness and profitability for these companies to compete in dynamic business scenarios and ensure compliance with contractual commitments under highly demanding global marketsPalabras clave: Calidad, Ingeniería civil, Normas, Medio ambiente, Salud ocupacional, Seguridad industrial, Sistema de gestión

Nowadays, the adoption of management systems dedicated to quality, environment and safety in company have become real issues, a competitive argument. They also have a reputation and international recognition. For some companies, they become like a prerequisite for their proper development.The aims of this paper is to understand how the Moroccan organizations who have an Integrated Management System integrate their management systems and the way that they perceive the challenges of managing several management systems in parallel over time. According to a survey carried out with thirty four Moroccan firms, we analyze empirically the implementation of different MSs such as: ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. Specially, we evaluate the integration levels of different management systems elements such as humans and documentation resources, objectives, procedures and audit. We analyze also the perceptions of companies about the advantages and the challenges encountered into the integration of Management Systems in organizations with more than one Management system.

The aim of the article was to carry out analysis and evaluation of the process of communication CSRby water and sewage companies. The analysis was carried out in relation to 510 water and sewage companieslocated in Poland, associated in the Chamber of Commerce of "Polish Waterworks". In the theoretical part, themethod of literature review was used, and in the empirical research, the method of analyzing the content of thesocial responsibility concept published on the enterprises’ websites was used. The obtained results allow for theconclusion that the communication carried out by the surveyed water and sewage companies in the field ofcorporate social responsibility should be assessed quite low. Out of 510 surveyed enterprises 63% did not informabout the implementation of activities in line with the CSR concept. Most of them conduct communicationactivities in the form of environmental education. Among the surveyed water and sewage companies, the biggestnumber of them have a well-developed and implemented systems ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and EMAS. Hence, itcan be concluded that enterprises, the most often and to a very limited extent, only implement the strategy ofinforming about CSR activities. The research also shows that in Polish conditions there is no relationship betweenthe implementation of formalized management systems and the concept of CSR
