STANDARD ISSUES Making the Most Of Management Reviews What can you do to add value to QMS review meetings? By Govind Ramu ISO 9001:2015 requires top management review of an organization’s quality management system (QMS). This provides an important opportunity for a quality manager to present to upper management a State of the Union-style report on the organization’s quality health. I have seen all varieties of such meetings: from day-long off-site meetings in which the owner of every business segment presents, to an hour-long ceremonial presentation featuring regurgitated graphs, tables and slides packed with text. Management review participants often complain that these meetings are a waste of time because the information already has been covered. Or, they tell themselves that it’s just something they must do for International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification. Adding value How can these meetings be restructured so they add value?

Here are a few tips to get Quality on the agenda of top management: Start having a SHEQ moment before every big management meeting. I push to give Safety, Health, Environment and Quality an equal share. Ensure that a specific ISO 9001 yearly management review meeting is on the corporate calendar. If you have a.

The key is to understand the intent of the management review requirements. ISO 9001:2015 clause 9.3.1 states: 'Top management shall review the organization’s quality management system, at planned intervals, to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy, effectiveness, and alignment with the strategic direction of the organization.' 1 The intent is to ensure: • Continuing suitability.

What has changed in the organization or the QMS that will render the QMS unsuitable or less suitable? Sufficiency in terms of people, process, infrastructure and operating environment. • Effectiveness. The 'extent to which planned activities are realized and planned results are achieved.' 2 • Alignment with the strategic direction of the organization. Any changes to strategic direction require realignment of the QMS. Let’s look at these requirements in more detail.

Continuing suitability Many changes take place in an organization over time due to shifts in policy and strategy or external factors. Let’s use the recent spike in ransomware as an example. 3 Computer hacking is becoming more sophisticated, and organizations must determine how to prevent an attack or reduce the impact of one. This is IT-related risk mitigation, so what does it have to do with a QMS? A ransomware attack can prevent an organization from serving its customers promptly, and it can compromise private information. It also can put an organization’s intellectual property at risk by posting documented information in a public domain.

Because ransomware attacks are wide-reaching and evolving rapidly, it is important for organizations to review any potential IT vulnerabilities. Perhaps changes must be made to IT policies and procedures to anticipate and prevent such risks. In the event of an unforeseen sophisticated hacking, does the organization have a plan in place for business continuity? Adequacy If an organization’s manufacturing or service delivery has expanded to new territories, or if the organization has launched new technology products, is the QMS sufficient to handle this business expansion? Offering products and services in new territories requires a launch plan that includes obtaining necessary regional certifications, hiring people from the new location (to address language and cultural barriers) and setting up infrastructure (hardware, software, building facilities and transportation, for example). Demo units may be required in the new territories, and an operating environment must be recreated or simulated to show product functionalities to potential customers. New technology products may require extensive training materials.

It shouldn’t be left to salespeople on the ground to figure out. A well thought out launch plan will have all the activities adequately covered so the sales team can provide an experience that delights customers.

Effectiveness Every organization has its own business processes, initiatives, goals and objectives to improve its bottom line and enhance the customer experience. How effective is the organization at meeting these goals and objectives? ISO 9001:2015 subclause 9.3.2.c.5 requires the management review to consider monitoring and measurement results that are relevant to the QMS and assess their effectiveness. Not meeting the results could be caused by inadequate resources, internal and external issues, or a lack of risk-based thinking. Should analysis be performed to determine why the results have not been met? Are there any systemic issues or common themes that run through various instances in which results were not met? Alignment with strategic direction Organizations may occasionally change their strategies due to market shift and to enhance their offerings to customers.
