Integrated Management System and Corporate Risk Management

The main motive for the integration of management systems should be to increase production efficiency by reducing losses due to overlapping resources of individual management systems running in parallel. In addition, by integrating, organisations can ensure the definition of unambiguous responsibilities and prevent problems at process interfaces as well as conflicting goals of individual management systems. The integration of management systems into one comprehensive and the implementation of an integrated system into the overall management of the organization would help to more effectively manage the risks associated with their business processes, resources and thus ensure prevention of these risks.

Comprehensive Approach to Achieving Business Continuity and Sustainable Success of the Transport Organization

Achieving business continuity and sustainable success of the transport organization requires a comprehensive approach that involves the consideration and resolution of a large number of factors that affect its business and arise from the specifics of its activities. Based on the author’s experiences, in this paper discusses issues of importance for achieving sustainable success and business continuity of the transport organization in a modern, very complex and dynamic business environment. Coordinated consideration and resolution of all these issues is the essence of an approach that enables the achievement of expected results. As a the most important factors for achieving the organization’s ability to achieve sustainable success and business continuity the following factors are highlighted: understanding the context of the organization, the organization’s resilience to environmental influences, application of approaches “Risk-based thinking” and “Risk-based management”, integration of management systems, continuous improvement and application of international standards for management systems. The application of the described approach is possible, except in transport, in other organizations, taking into account its specifics.

Global Performance Index for Integrated Management System: GPI-IMS

Background: The present work starts from a literature review of the evolution of Integrated Management Systems (IMSs), considering different points of view and standards: quality, environmental, occupational health and safety, sustainability and social issues. Even if the benefits are possible, there is not a common approach and a clear link between the integration of management systems and business performance, in particular considering safety performance. Methods: The present study analyzes the application of Risk Assessment in order to realize the integration of management systems. The main objective is to provide a tool for an integrated evaluation of all company performances, starting from the definition of some Key Performance Indicators—KPIs—proposed for a particular case study, even if their choice is not the core of the paper. The assessment team members on the basis of their knowledge, experience and useful literature, could choose the right KPIs for the specific application, able to take a picture of the current state and to suggest a possible recommended action of improving. The proposed Risk Assessment approach is an integration of modern management techniques: Integrated Management System and Improving Cycle DMAIC. Results: The new method, called the Global Performance Index for Integrated Management System—GPI-IMS, has been applied to a real case study in the logistic field in order to evaluate its goodness and possible generalization. Conclusions: The proposed method allows to define the requirements that any company must have to perform the best. The role of the assessment team is very important to evaluate the global performance of the company and to suggest the corrective actions to be adopted.

DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ELEMENTS OF AN INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ENTERPRISE

Интеграция систем менеджмента (ИСМ) позволяет унифицировать процесс управления и снизить издержки, в том числе на ликвидацию последствий ошибочных управленческих решений. Сформулированы 12 последовательных этапов внедрения эффективной системы менеджмента качества по ГОСТ Р ИСО 9001–2015 и ГОСТ Р ИСО 14001–2016 на примере ООО «М» (Туапсе), деятельность которого связана с оказанием круглосуточных услуг по бункеровке судов в порту и на рейде. Представлена последовательность выполнения 12 этапов ИСМ. Рассчитаны общие затраты на проведение работ по ИСМ за 12 мес. Совершенствование системы менеджмента качества будет способствовать дальнейшему развитию предприятия и укреплению его позиций на внутреннем и внешнем рынках. Integration of management systems (IMS) allows to unify the management process and reduce costs, including the elimination of the consequences of erroneous management decisions. 12 successive stages of implementation of an effective quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001–2015 and ISO 14001–2016 have been formulated using the example of LLC «M» (Tuapse, Krasnodar region), whose activities are related to the provision of round-the-clock bunkering services in the port and in the roadstead. The sequence of execution of 12 stages of the IMS is presented. Calculated the total cost of work on the IMS for 12 months. Improving the quality management system will contribute to the further development of the company and strengthen its position in the domestic and foreign markets.

Integrated internal audit in management system

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the implementation of integrated internal audit management (IIAM) and compare the implementation of IIAM by Malaysian firms with different certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001). Design/methodology/approach This study involves three studies on the implementation of integrated internal audit processes. Furthermore, this study compares the implementation of the audit in the selected firms. The qualitative research methodology was adopted to analyse the data. Findings This study is an exploratory study and the findings indicate the differences between the implementation of the internal audit process across different firms. All the firms are highly motivated and demonstrate resource management whilst implementing the IIAM while firms experiencing the same difficulties. The study also found that all of the firms are enjoying similar benefits. Research limitations/implications The scope of this research paper is limited to three Malaysian manufacturing firms with different quality certifications: ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. Thus, the finding cannot be generalised to all firms in Malaysia. However, the findings are significant as they present an interesting comparison between the implementation of IIAM by manufacturing firms in Malaysia. Originality/value Although the integration of management systems has been analysed many times, this study focussed on the comparison of firms’ practices of the IIAM.

Selective integration of management systems: a case study in the construction industry

PurposeDespite the widely recognized benefits of integrating management systems, many multi-certified organizations continue to implement two or more systems separately. This can happen either through ignorance or by deliberate intent. Focusing on the second reason, the purpose of this paper is to examine a number of factors that can lead an organization to consciously choose not to integrate all of its management systems.Design/methodology/approachThe paper presents a case study of a construction company that has integrated the environmental management system and the occupational health and safety management system – which implies that the company is familiar with the practice of integration – while choosing to implement the quality management system separately from the other two.FindingsThe findings of this study show that the reasons that led the company not to integrate all of its systems are not so much related to the compatibility of these systems, but are much deeper and have implications that touch upon its basic principles and values. Despite the occurrence of some organizational and operational problems (such as complexity of administrative issues and bureaucracy), the separate implementation of the systems allowed the company to preserve both the balance between the powers of its executives and the ability to attach special importance to each area: quality, environment, health and safety.Originality/valueThis study will be useful in order to understand that selective integration of management systems is based on the belief that integration is not ade factodesirable goal, especially when the estimated cost-benefit ratio of non-integration is better than that of integration.
