“Our quality manager just left and nobody understands the system.”
The procedures are still on the shared drive. What walked out the door was the understanding — why things were set up the way they were, and how to explain them to an auditor.
Request a Situation ReviewWhat you're facing
- The person who built or ran the management system has resigned, retired, or moved on.
- Nobody else knows how the system fits together or why it was designed that way.
- A surveillance audit, customer audit, or internal audit is coming up.
- Corrective actions, calibration, training records, and supplier reviews are starting to drift.
What it's costing you
- Findings at the next audit because tasks slipped during the gap.
- A system that slowly stops being used because nobody owns it.
- Pressure to hire quickly — and a new hire who inherits a system they cannot explain.
