Abstract. This paper identifies the trends in existing literatures on management system standards such as Quality (Q), Environmental (E), Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), and Energy (En) Management System (MS). Literatures related to these management system standards (MSSs) and its integrations published between year 1980 to 2012 have been critically analyzed. It provides a general overview of the Integrated Management System (IMS) implementation and the composition of MSSs in developing IMS in various organizations. Based on the analysis, it is firm that the integration of these four (4) MSSs has not been well established. Despite that, the recurring themes of the literatures related to IMS are mainly, model for implementation, strategies and guidelines for implementation, benefits of implementation, barriers/ problems of implementation, audit of IMS, Critical Success Factors for implementing IMS and IMS Audits. Introduction Although compliance and certification to Management Systems Standards (MSSs) are voluntary, it is being emphasized as essential criterion towards business and corporate sustainability. From a corporate perspective, sustainability encompasses economic, environmental and social issues that have business implications [1]. In addressing the challenges of corporate sustainability, such as rapidly changing market conditions, coordination of operations at a global level, and increased reliance on outsourcing, a number of MSSs have emerged to help managers to systematically address the key stakeholder requirements [1]. Those are the standards published by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) Project Group, specifically on OHSAS18001. The ISO was founded in 1946 in Geneva, Switzerland. The MSSs published by ISO includes general standards, sector specific standard and product specific organizational requirements. MSSs published by ISO are indexed with “ISO” acronym followed by an index number. Whilst, MSS on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) was published separately, by a number of standard bodies such as British Standard Institute (BSI) and Det Norske Veritas (DNV). OHSAS18001 is compatible with ISO9001 and ISO14001. OHSAS aims to certify an OHSMS that is able to create and maintain safe workplace conditions and protect employees from workplace injuries and illnesses [2]. With the introduction of the ISO9001 Quality Management System standard in 1987, standards have been progressively developed for environmental management (ISO14001), safety (OHSAS 18001), and corporate social responsibility (AA1000), to name a few. It is clear that new standards continue to emerge and existing standards is undergoing periodic updates [3]. For example, ISO50001:2011 Energy Management System (EnMS) is a newly launched standard, to enable organizations to establish the systems and processes necessary to improve energy performance, Applied Mechanics and Materials Vols. 465-466 (2014) pp 1155-1159 © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland doi:10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.465-466.1155 All rights reserved.
