How do we satisfy the requirement that "all elements of the entire quality system" are reviewed during Management Review? I was told that you may have to present the full text of QS-9000 at the Management Review. THANKS.

Lyndon -
There is no requirement that the full text of QS9000 be presented at a review. The standard says you must review "all elements of the entire quality system". One way to do this would be to review your internal audit program during this "review". This would classify as reviewing the entire system. A lot of companies that I am familiar with approach it this way. Your management rep is also required to report on the quality system to your management for review. If you already have some sort of regular meeting concerning your company's performance, a brief note by the mgmt. rep about the quality system would also work.

In essence, internal audits have to address your tier 2's - upon which your 'quality' systems are based. and the, as Scott said, your review will suffice.
