The real benefits of integration, in an integrated operations system, can only be obtained and recognized if the implemented organizational design and structure are compatible with the introduced change. Besides the development of a methodology to drive the design task is needed, including its management and operationalization. From the reference model definition for the organizational design, it is developed the design process rationality. From this rationality and its constituent elements, it is identified a methodological approach that encompass the needed completeness, in the sense to sustain the coherence between the structure and the introduced change, besides being the basis to instrumentalize its operationalization. Farther developing the design process rationality, it is pointed out in this work the methodological approach identification, that not only is used to source the organizational design task with the required process management that guides its operationalization, but also serves as a strategy to refine and to validate the model. This methodology contributes to the construction of a Organizational Design Theory to organizational systems, particularly the integrated operations systems.
