ledelsesgjennomgang

Ledelsesgjennomgang, also known as management review, is a formal process within quality management systems, often mandated by standards like ISO 9001. It involves top management periodically evaluating the suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the organization's quality management system. The primary purpose is to ensure the system remains aligned with the organization's strategic direction and continues to meet customer and stakeholder requirements.

During a ledelsesgjennomgang, management reviews inputs such as audit results, customer feedback, process performance, status of preventive and corrective actions, changes affecting the quality management system, and recommendations for improvement. Based on these inputs, management makes decisions and takes actions to enhance the quality management system, including its policies and objectives. This review ensures that the system is capable of achieving its intended results and is continuously improved.

The frequency of ledelsesgjennomgang is determined by the organization, but it is typically conducted at planned intervals. It is a critical element for demonstrating top management commitment to the quality management system and for driving its ongoing effectiveness and relevance. The outcomes of the review are documented and communicated to relevant personnel.
