...here is our new procedure. What do you think? We are doing all of our procedures in this new style.
I think it looks nice... Clean, simple and to the point. As usual you have produced good stuff, Queenslander...

People (even outside the Q geek group) may actually read it ;) .

Twice yearly, but having just complted the management responsiblity audit,
(and gathered a large collection of knives from my back!), the biannual management review does'nt seem to be worth the paper it was written on!!!
:frust:

weekly, monthly and quarterly reviews cover some aspects but a full system review is done annually. However our MD has decided that these reviews should only involve the 4 directors (which contravenes the existing procedure), minutes are taken but only circulated amongst the directors. Am I right in thinking this would be a non-compliance? (We're going for certification in June).

thanks for any feedback

If it is, it is only contradictory to your existing procedure (provided the records of the review is available for your registrar). My recommendation is to change to procedure.

You might also look at how this impacts your communication process (5.5.3). You do not have to use Management Review as a means of fulfilling 5.5.3, but a lot of companies do.

As far as know, once per year is enough. Why 4 times per year? too enigmatical!!
Some perform reviews more than once a year for the following reasons:
  • To provide a clear and public forum of communication of action items and resolutions
  • So that the appropriate people have a clear (and relatively current) picture of the health of the system and organization
  • To ensure that people are following through on their responsibilities to the system (this may be more common in organizations with a younger, less mature system)
  • To provide more frequent opportunities to discuss Improvement options in a group setting - meaning that others are around to validate/question the potential Improvement activities
  • To provide a group setting in which concerns can be discussed regarding the system (Example - Resources. If Resources are inadequate, why wait a year to discuss this. And another department may have abundant resources it may be willing to share)
  • To develop a formal mechanism by which aspects of the Management System are discussed in an on-going manner

The point is, buffalo_hua, that many people and organizations have realized that it is better to have a Management System that works for them, instead of them working for the Management System. They pick a frequency and agenda that is meaningful to their organization.

My company used to have Management Review once a month, where we would review the previous month (and nothing else except the Year-To-Date numbers). But meant we were looking at the individual trees, except at the September Review where we would look at the yearly numbers, trends, etc....the forest, if you will.

However, the monthly sessions became more of a nagging session, where I would have to remind people to do things...of no benefit to anyone. I am not paid to babysit Senior Managers. We now have Management Review once a quarter (except for September, which is the annual review).

It is important to develop a system that works for you...with you...and remember to continually evolve and improve it, as your organizaion evolves and improves! :)
