Introduction: Today, organizations need an integrated management system (IMS) to achieve global standards regarding the environment and employees. And one of the important goals of an integrated management system is to eliminate or reduce disasters to an acceptable level of organization. Therefore, in this study, we try to measure the efficiency of deployment of this system on safety performance monitoring indicators. Method: This study is a descriptive-analytical study conducted during 2009 and 2010 (years before implementation of integrated management system) and years 2011 to 2014 (years when integrated management system was implemented in all units of one of the tile factories of Yazd city. In this study, all the information related to the events in this industry was collected. Then the variables of accident repetition coefficient (AFR), accident severity factor (ASR), repetition-intensity factor (FSI) and Safe-T-Score were calculated and analyzed. Results: The incidence of recurrence coefficient, accident severity coefficient and recurrence-severity coefficient decreased from 2009 to 2014. The safe T coefficient also shows that in 90 (the beginning of the implementation of integrated management system) and 91 the number of accidents has significantly decreased compared to previous years. Conclusion: The results of this study show that the implementation of integrated management system can increase safety indices and thereby increase the level of factory safety.

The purpose of the article is to present integration as a determinant of business growth and to indicate the essence, role, significance and relationship with management in an organization. The research methods included an analysis of the available literature and inferences. The work is theoretical in nature. The results indicate the benefits and barriers related to the introduction of integrated management system in an organization. Based on the literature studies it was found that integration as a strategic and inherent approach allows problems to be solved related to achieving real and continuous improvement, and helps an organization to navigate in a changing market environment. The integration of the management system brings economic benefits to the organization, and reveals possible synergy effects. It was pointed out that the concept of integrated improvement 5.0 makes it possible to find a route to success in the functioning of an organization in a variable and diverse environment. Integration was referred to as a determinant of economic growth. The necessity of conducting further research on the impact of effective knowledge management on the comprehensively understood integration processes was underlined.

AbstractThe paper analyzes, starting from the Integrated Management System, the role of automation, the role of the officer and the role of the Energy Management System on board the ship. The implementation of an EnMS establishes the structure and discipline of identifying energy flows, implementing management actions and, finally, applying technical solutions, which significantly reduce energy costs, reduce non-productive time in production, and reduce emissions. of Greenhouse Gases in the environment. The steps to be highlighted in the realization of energy management are analyzed.

The relevance of creating integrated management systems for enterprises in a digital transformation environment is proved. New approaches to improving the management system in accordance with the new European excellence model (EFQM 2020) and international standards for achieving sustainable success and risk management are described. Approach to the development of integrated management system model based on the new EFQM 2020 model and international standards such as ISO 9004:2018 and ISO 31000:2018 is offered.

PurposeThis paper presents, through the analysis of a case study, a model based on a systemic approach that proved successful for the design and implementation of an integrated management system (IMS) in an airline, and provides guidelines and practical recommendations that may be of use to other sectors of activity when designing and implementing an IMS.Design/methodology/approachData for this paper were collected through direct analysis and implication in the process of implementation of the IMS. Also a literature review was conducted.FindingsTangible and intangible benefits were identified as derived from operating one IMS, such as cost savings, better use of resources, improved internal communication, stronger customer orientation and employee motivation. For these benefits to be realised it is essential to take into account several critical factors and be aware of the challenges accompanying integration of management systems, as detailed in the paper.Practical implicationsThis paper provides guidelines and recommendations for organisations seeking to implement and integrate several standards, being general or sectoral, particularly if they operate in highly complex industry sectors.Originality/valueThis paper incorporates the integration of sectoral standards, which the literature has not covered very widely. The research has wider value through transferable applications and experiences for other industry sectors.
