Abstract

This paper provides an evaluation of the implementation of an integrated management system (IMS) by a hypothetical case company called Alpha Inc. It also compares the key principles of ISO 19001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001. Moreover, this contribution includes a gap analysis for the IMS and an evaluation of the compliance to quality, environmental, and occupational health & safety standards. Additionally, the paper focuses on the requirements of the legal compliance for ISO 14001 standard and OHSAS 18001 standard in relation to customer requirements of ISO 19001. Finally, this research advocates the benefits of the IMS for Alpha Inc and also outlines the system’s challenges and the necessary steps to be taken by the company in order to foster the systemic improvement.
