Management Review

Open: More > Management Review. Typical leads: Quality Manager and Executive. Under Schedule a review, enter the title and review date and choose Open review. The MR record begins as a Draft.

A management review in draft: the seven input areas, the seeded register summaries and the live Inputs from the registers card.
A management review in draft: the seven input areas, the seeded register summaries and the live Inputs from the registers card.

The current app pre-fills four empty agenda areas at creation from available register summaries: Audits, Nonconformance and CAPA, Process performance, and Resources and suppliers. A live Inputs from the registers card links to current source information while the review is draft. The prefilled narrative and the live card can differ after the registers change; review and update the minutes deliberately.

  1. Open the draft and compare the seeded information with the source registers and meeting period.
  2. Address all seven input areas: Audits; Customer feedback; Process performance and product conformity; Nonconformance and CAPA; Resources and suppliers; Risks and changes; Previous review actions.
  3. Record decisions and follow-up. Include action, owner, due date, and evidence references in the minutes; create ACT records separately where follow-up needs tracking.
  4. Save the review and inspect the closure checklist. Every input area and the decisions field needs content.
  5. The authorized user chooses Close review when the minutes are complete.

If an input had no activity during the period, state that conclusion and its basis. Do not erase a section to imply it was considered. The automatically seeded counts are preparation aids, not approved minutes or proof that management reviewed them.

Completion check: the review date and period are clear, all inputs were addressed, decisions are specific, follow-up is assigned, and the closed record retains what was decided. Use the Management review pack in Reports to retain supporting register exports.
