Re: What is criteria to being Management Representative(MR)? Is there any standard ?
John,
I agree with much of what you say, albeit some seems rather manufacturing-biassed. A good wishlist. Dunno what you mean by QESH (not all the world is USA recall), but presumably you're referring to something like quality, environmental, workplace health & safety.
I think one of the very best people to be the 'management rep' is the CEO/MD/president - ie, the person at the top. It really sets the tone of how important quality is considered to be! I love it when a client decides to do it that way, although perhaps it is more possible in a smaller-medium sized company than a larger one?
I also wonder if this frequent delegation of quality to a 'quality rep' or similar is one of the differences in service companies (my field) and traditional manufacturing/automative etc (which seem to make up the majority of Covites' experience). The good ones I see don't hive off quality as a 'separated' responsibility, but keep it front & center in everyone's responsibility, often led by either the person/people at the top, with the more mundane aspects (eg, doc control co-ordination etc) delegated lower down.
