Systematic review of integration theories of standardized management systems
Abstract
This article presents the results of a systematic review carried out in Scopus, EBSCOhost and Unbis Thesaurus (United Nations Bibliographical Information System) and e-book. The search considered texts published between 2000 and 2016. The recovery of these documents was made through keywords in English and Spanish: Integration of management systems, Integration of management systems and systematic review, Standards, Industrial management. 998 documents were identified and it was identified that 2014 is the year with the highest related production. Within the scientific literature, it was possible to identify that some systematic reviews of theories of integration of management systems are applied to different economic sectors worldwide, however there is little information on the subject of research, contributions are scarce; generating gaps and difficulties for the analysis and interpretation of the common elements of the contributions of integration theories of standardized management systems such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001.
