“Our management review is weak and isn't improving operations.”
Management review happens — usually the week before the auditor arrives. A slide deck gets presented, minutes get filed, and nothing in the operation changes.
Request a Situation ReviewWhat you're facing
- Management review is held once a year to satisfy the standard.
- It is a presentation of metrics, not a discussion that leads to decisions.
- Actions have no owners, no due dates, and no follow-up.
- Leadership sees the management system as the quality department’s job.
What it's costing you
- Leadership that is not actually running the management system.
- Problems that reach the top too late — after they have already cost money.
- A requirement met on paper while operations stay the same.
