Implementation of an Integrated Management System: A Review and Case Study on Electric Power Transmission in Indonesia

Abstract

The best management practice for companies with multiple management systems is to harmonize the different management systems into a single system, usually called an integrated management system. Through a number of case studies, this research examines practical implementation in an attempt to comprehend the emerging phenomenon in integrated management system research. An analysis of relevant research shows that current integrated management system research focuses on the most widely used and influential framework in integrated management systems, consisting of the integration of Quality, Environmental, and Occupational Health and Safety management systems. These frameworks are also confirmed by the findings of this research in Electric Power Transmission Units in Indonesia. The main contribution of this research is to provide valuable insights to researchers and practitioners on the most recent conceptual and practical developments that are occurring in the implementation of integrated management systems as the best management practices.
