In the context of the ISO9001 Management Review has a particular meaning, which is continued in the new version 2008 of the norm. Is directly related to the revision of performance management systems and possibilities for development of long-term improvement. But, this review is just one of several requirements review others documented in the standard, with additional review activities in a natural extension of the corporate governance process.

Tests are performed routinely by business managers for all types of purposes, and have the common characteristic of being useful and structured with apparent choice-making as result, based on the revision of targets.

Too often, auditors consider the ISO9001 management review has been conducted as a formality with the sole purpose apparent that to keep track of preside over examination and visible to the audit. A apparent lack of what you question for a commitment to the norm. "

A similar requirement to inspect product design activity, taken at the beginning (or even before starting) a project, and then specifically plotted phases right through the design process has a completely different response. These reviews are typically conducted in a manner designed to minimize the risk of failure through identification and classification of risk factors in the development of a robust design strategy. Donations to the review process are generally highly sought and well documented review output, with subsequent actions to be similarly reviewed.

Therefore, we have two exams, both are part of the requirements ISO9001 system, allegedly made by the directors have authority and power to evaluate and choose, but very different in make pleased and application. It is right that the above is an evaluation board, but it is often so typical as to be worthy of further evaluation. For those who care about these issues, the question should be – what is different about the method and make pleased of the two scenarios inspection?

I reckon the "secret" of their difference lies in the nature participants. For the mandate of ISO Management Review of the participants, nearly inevitably, see this review as an obstacle to jump into the cause of registration. Consequently the participants – if they can avoid the review will try to minimize the pain of preparation and behavioral outcomes. They do this through a process of abdicating responsibility. The responsibility to be with you the right purpose of the review, properly preparing for the exam, and by delegation responsibility for the results they see as their candidate for both the process and the overall system. Therefore surrounded by the organizations we have a 'Head of the driver of quality "to the constitution and management of inputs and outputs for the review, and the same individual continually at odds with management company regarding its commitment to "quality".

Design reviews – review and similar activities in the area of operations, are markedly different. In the first place to take place because managers believe that the revision is a necessary part of successful project plotting. Then the staff involved have a stake in the success of the process and make a contribution that is recognized and valued.

Obviously, any revision to be useful and a successful combination of capacity – (either technical or managerial) – and interest is essential. The real parties have to be persuaded of the benefits arising their efforts and has to be some "value added" of performing the inspection. In most situations, the management control of the ISO is not seen as proper use of time management, retention beyond the objectives requires registration.

Is there a solution to this problem, or is there really a problem? For the purist, who sees the implementation of ISO, including the adoption of the letter and spirit of the rule as the only way, then plainly there is a problem. For those who say that business managers must choose how they will implement and manage the standard, because they can do and other aspects and requirements, no There is always the same problem managers really be with you what they can but they do not, and the consequences of his choice. The key to this understanding in many if not most organizations is the Quality Manager / Quality Manager (which are not), that implicit collusion with management to ensure a review process that could with small more effort really have some value. It is this establishment's spot that adds small value and could, with benefit of being deleted.

Quality means doing equipment right.
