Management Review Minutes, Decisions and Outputs Record

Minutes that record what management concluded and decided, not just what was discussed: every input with its conclusion, every output with an owner and a date, and the chair's signature.

Free to use, change and copy inside your own organization. Editable Word, plus a fillable PDF you can complete on screen.

The problem it solves

Management review minutes are often a page of discussion notes: who said what about delivery, a list of slides shown, and 'actions to follow'. An auditor reading them can't find the conclusions on the quality system, which decisions were made, who owns them or by when, and the next review can't follow them up. This record is laid out so the minutes capture outputs as they are made: attendance, the status of earlier actions, each input with its conclusion, the conclusions on the quality system, every decision with an owner and a date, resource decisions, changes to the quality system and risk actions, and the chair's signature.

Who uses it, and when

The quality manager or whoever takes the minutes, and the top manager who chairs the review and signs them. Open it at the start of the review and fill it in live. Read the outputs back before the meeting closes, and issue the signed minutes within five working days.
