Abstract
This chapter analyzes the challenges faced by a glass bottle manufacturer when incorporating the research, development, and innovation (RDI) standards into the firm's integrated management systems. Based on a case study, this chapter explores how the firm managed to incorporate the new standards into the already set of integrated management system based on the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 standards that the firm has managed to internalize in its continuous improvement process. In order to incorporate this new RDI management system, the firm developed a set of three procedures that involve an ideas management and opportunity evaluation procedure, a production knowledge interface management procedure, and an RDI project management system. These three procedures are now internalized as part of the integrated management system.
