Estudo bibliométrico sobre o Sistema de Gestão Integrada (SGI) no Brasil

Abstract

The relentless pursuit of efficiency and excellence in organizations has driven continuous research and development in Integrated Management Systems (IMS). This initiative aims to facilitate the seamless integration of diverse processes within an organization, with the primary purpose of optimizing resource utilization. Integrated Management Systems seek to establish a unified approach to managing various areas, encompassing quality, environment, health and occupational safety, among others. This integration goes beyond compliance with specific standards and regulations; it aspires to achieve synergies among different parts of the organization, promoting operational efficiency, reducing redundancies, and fostering continuous improvement. In this context, research and development in Integrated Management Systems play a crucial role in the evolution of organizational practices, driving innovation and contributing to the achievement of strategic and sustainable goals. Given this scenario, this study aims to conduct a comprehensive survey of scientific publications related to IMS in Brazil, using the main database of Web of Science. The objective is to understand the current state of knowledge in this area, covering publications distributed from 2000 to 2023. To achieve this, an investigation was conducted, including terms such as "iso standards," "integrated management system," "iso 9001," "iso 14001," and "iso 45001" in abstracts. Only documents of the types article, conference article, review article, and early access article were considered in the study. Two software packages were employed as analysis tools: the Biblioshiny application, accessible through the Bibliometrix package in R, and VOSviewer. The results were subsequently analyzed concerning author levels, sources, and documents, considering the number of publications, total citations, impact indices, collaboration networks, and the occurrence of keywords. It was concluded that the obtained results demonstrate a considerable interest from the scientific community in the subject in recent years, reflecting a growing relevance and approach in the last decade.
