“…OHS management standards will undoubtedly help industrialists convert smoothly to autonomous and smart systems. Among the advantages to be realized are reduced documentation and increased synergy between all managerial processes (Muzaimi et al, 2017;Dahlin and Isaksson, 2017;Chovancová et al, 2016). This will help overcome obstacles such as errors in prioritizing risks and difficulties organizing preventive actions in automated and dynamic management systems.…”

“…A study by Carvalho et al [2] performed in the Brazilian constructing industry provides evidence of several benefits, including improvement of routine management in the first place and financial savings as the smallest benefit. According to [3], proper integration of management systems is accompanied by decreased bureaucracy, management costs, a simplified certification process, better internal management, and facilitation of continuous improvement.…”
The article discusses the benefits and barriers associated with the implementation of integrated management systems. The results of a questionnaire survey conducted in Slovak and Ukrainian companies with implemented IMS confirm that Ukrainian and Slovak companies generally perceive the introduction of IMS positively, regardless of the length of the period (number of years) IMS is implemented. The most frequently reported benefits were (1) increased quality of products and services, (2) a competitive, and (3) customer acquisition and retention. With regard to barriers perceived, Ukrainian companies generally perceive the introduction of IMS positively, although slightly larger barriers were overcome by larger companies, the opposite was true for Slovak companies. However, the dependence of the perception of barriers in the IMS implementation on the size of the company was not statistically proven. The most frequently reported barriers were an administrative burden and a lack of tools for IMS auditing and evaluation. The study expands the empirical evidence on perceived benefits and barriers of IMS implementation and can serve managers in their effort to overcome the difficulties and take full advantage of IMS implementation.
“…The process of combinations and recombination are applicable here [44]. For our specific case, it is possible to create the most popular integration pair of standards ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 [45]. Otherwise, there are the lesser-known pairs of ISO 9001 with ISO 20121 or ISO 14001 and ISO 20121.…”
With a growing number of standards and their related requirements for manufacturers and/or service providers, there is a need to simplify their application process. The aim of this article is to propose a simplified implementation of multiple management system standards (MSSs) through visualization management. Results of visualization provide a perspective of interrelatedness of requirements of MSSs, and how they fit in the overall context. The three standards used in this project, defined as a complex triplet of integrated management systems (IMSs), are: Quality (QMS), Environment (EMS) and Event Sustainability (ESMS) Management Standards. Visualization is developed by creating clusters using a program intended for creating small world networks. This step is preceded by the creation of a database in a spreadsheet format for data mining, where the requirements are divided into specific and common ones. The main emphasis will be on facilitating the assessment of synergies. The resulting visualized composed cluster model of selected areas includes the clauses. It is possible to further extend the model by adding other standards, depending on needs of interested parties. In essence, the model is a part of visual process, and it simplifies, speeds up and clarifies managerial decision-making processes related to the implementation of the MSSs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
