Records management review

There are two requirements addressing records of the management review which when combined require firstly that records of management review be maintained and secondly that these records provide as a minimum evidence of the achievement of objectives specified in the quality policy and the business plan and evidence of customer satisfaction with product supplied. 

To determine the procedures you need you should design the system from the top down. Some requirements will apply to many operations such as document control, corrective action, and quality records whereas other requirements may apply to only one operation, such as auditing and management review. A matrix showing this relationship is given in Appendix D. 

Management review records (clause 4.1.3) Process verification records (clause 4.2.4.9.4) Contract review records (clause 4.3.4)...

The review should also consider supplier performance, wider management issues, and any changes that have affected the laboratory. The review should be used to... 

The quality system is reviewed on a quarterly basis through management reviews to ensure continuing suitability and effectiveness. The data and results of the input and output reviews are recorded and maintained. 

Conduct a review of chemical agent disposal facility operations and records management for the ambient air monitoring for agent, and for exhaust stack and other waste stream emissions of agent and other substances of potential concern (SOPCs) that are characteristic of these facilities. Use Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and Environmental Protection Agency criteria for initial identification and evaluation of SOPCs. 

After being released for use, all computer systems must be periodically reviewed until the system is no longer required for operation. The system documentation, system operation, modifications, deviations, upgrades, and the electronic record management associated with the software application must be reviewed to determine ... 

Batch record management (issuance, review, approval, and release) is the sole responsibility of QA. 

The points of agreement of Chemical Process Safety Committee meetings should be captured in meeting minutes. In some organizations a review team of senior management reviews the minutes and approve the conclusions. Once the minutes are accepted, the commitments made by various participants should be recorded and the progress of each recommendation should be periodically reviewed until such items are accomplished. 

Failure to validate computer software used as part of the quality system for its intended use according to an established protocol as required by 21 CFR 820.70(i). For example, the data in the Excel spreadsheet identified as a hit list of top nonconforming components contains 16 record counts for part number 8601618 DC converter failures compared to 18 record counts for part number 860168 DC converter failures in the dbase database. The spreadsheet is used for management review of component suppliers for all components. 

All these, despite previous observations, clearly highlighting the urgent need for significant review and supplementation of procedures for software control, records management, and the addressing of a culture to hide problems as reported in a document from at least one National Testing Laboratory (NTL).

The audit room is the room, in which the inspectors and the core team stay during the inspection and where the documents and records are reviewed by the inspectors. This is also where the opening meeting and the closeout meeting take place. The management or management representatives must be present both at the beginning and at the end of the inspection. 

Evaluation , This element covers monitoring, measuring and recording safety and health performance, including selection of performance indicators. It includes investigations of events, audits of operations and management reviews. 

The foregoing color scheme is recorded here as an example of how performance gradations may be expressed. The writers of ZlO s Appendix J properly recognized that a variety of evaluation systems may be used—qualitative or quantitative. They also made an important statement when they stated that Management Review reports should suit the organization s size, operations, services, or culture. A summary report will be more readily accepted if it fits the organization s style and culture. 

For those chapters proposing typical procedures with model forms concerning responsibilities on site, supplier site visits, quality plans and records, engineering queries, incoming inspection and maintenance, nonconformities, audits, management reviews and construction completion and turnover, the forms concerned can be downloaded from the Wiley-Blackwell website www.blackwellpublishing.com/noble. They can serve as a basis for the reader to create his/her own forms adapted to the needs of a specific project.
