We are part of a world wide corporation with plants in every area. Each plant is a stand alone entity for P&L. We complete management reviews for our operating facility only. Some share sales offices depending on location, and we all share corporate inputs.

I voted, "My company is small enough that we only run one management review for the entire company."Although, we have four facilities (all within a fifty mile radius) and upwards of nearly 300 personnel.

We have at least several management reviews a year, and sometimes more as determined by top management.

My current experience is almost identical to Muleskinner's. A fourth facility is being built and we have a similar number of employees. However, we have just one formal QMS Review a year. We also have quarterly top management meetings where QMS related issues are followed up. Das ist alles.

I am lucky to get everyone to sit down for a QMS MR meeting at all. Still, they fidget. I think that they don't see a benefit - so we must be doing something wrong. I see a benefit...it's called communication and the output is beneficial in my eyes. We were holding these meetings 2x/year.

We are implementing ISO 9001, our pre-audit is next week, and we have switched to a 1x/year meeting as a trial. The registration audit is Oct 24-28 for the main facilities (certified QS since Nov 1998) and a separate audit Nov 9-11 for a facility(sister company) that is 2 hours away and that has never been certified to anything. Oh my....

I don't know about yours, but my external auditor requires a minimum of 2 Management Reviews per year. And we are increasing it to try to add more value. Too many dropped balls with 2 per year.

We used to do 1 annual MR, and then added 4 quarterly meetings where much of the same topics were covered.

So we then renamed the quarterly meetings to MR's, added any mandatory bits of MR that were not already checked and dumped the annual one.

We found that we don't need a single "Management Review Meeting". What we did find was that we already had several other meetings we conducted weekly or bi-monthly, or monthly that addressed all the issues of review and at the appropriate levels. We continuously do Management Review around here. My meetings include Project Status Meeting, Business Planning Meeting, Executive Meeting, Safety Meeting, and Steering Committee Meeting.

Sure, it is just easier to have one meeting once of twice a year, but our in our company we constantly look over everything in these other meetings as part of our normal business practices.

QMS used to be monthly, but that became too much a hand-holding session and there was no value to it. So QMS reviews are now quarterly, with a large annual reviewed scheduled for next month.

EMS is still monthly. Safety is still monthly.

Keeping in mind, however, that those reviews above are with only senior management present.

All three still present monthly updates at all levels.

This week is just the pre-audit. We had 1 meeting already and will have another in 3 weeks....just to get caught up for the Reg audit at the end of October.
