Management Review Meetings: WHY?

(Number 4 In A Series)

By John Novak

One of the requirements of ISO 9001:2000, ISO/TS 16949, QS-9000, ISO 14000, and many of the other Quality Management System standards is the holding of periodic management review meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to provide a vehicle for the top management group in an organization to evaluate the status and any issues that arise relative to the Quality Management System. They should look at the following inputs and develop actions to achieve the outputs:

Management Review Process

KAVON can help facilitate these meetings by providing the structure, agenda, information to be reviewed and generating the documentation records required for ISO/QS compliance. We can provide input at this meeting especially if we are performing some of the tasks like internal auditing. We can provide this service on a temporary basis until the management group becomes comfortable with the process or we can be a permanent participant.


KAVON International, Inc. is a business consultancy that helps clients create Value in order to attain and sustain a Competitive Advantage in the markets they serve. If your company is seeking registration or compliance to any of the Quality Management System standards such as ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949, AS9100, ISO 17025, ISO 14001, or ISO 13485, or wants to establish a continual improvement program using Lean Six Sigma methodologies, give us a call and let one of our Trusted Advisors help you with implementation and training.
