Management reviewManagement system

A management review that fills itself and stands as evidence

The management review gathers its own input from the platform, such as actions, incidents, audits, risks and objectives. Management gives a verdict per topic, turns decisions into actions or objectives and adopts the report as evidence.

What you do with Management review

Topics follow your setup

Your active standards and modules determine which topics are in the review. Each topic shows its source, period and reference date and compares with the previous period.

A verdict per topic

For each topic you choose in order, needs attention, insufficient, cannot be assessed or not applicable, and answer targeted review questions. Topics that need attention are highlighted.

AI writing help per topic

AI drafts a text per topic based on the collected figures and suggests a verdict. You can adopt it as the conclusion; the verdict always stays with management.

Decisions become actions

Each decision gets an owner, deadline, priority, desired outcome and success criterion. In one click you turn it into an action, CAPA or new objective.

Follow-up of the previous review

At the top you see the decisions from the previous review with the current status of the linked action. You give an effectiveness verdict for each, because administratively closed is not automatically effective.

Readiness check and sign-off

Before sign-off, the system checks for blocking issues, warnings and recommendations. Signing off freezes the figures, publishes the report as a controlled document and produces a PDF report.

In practice

How it works

  1. 1

    Start

    Create a new review, give it a name and choose the review period. Topics and figures are collected automatically.

  2. 2

    Complete

    If an automatic source is missing, you add a manual entry with value, reference date, source and supplier, and mark it as checked.

  3. 3

    Review

    Go through the topics with management, give a verdict per topic and record the overall conclusion on suitability, adequacy and effectiveness.

  4. 4

    Decide

    Formulate decisions for the topics discussed and turn them into an action or objective.

  5. 5

    Sign off

    After the readiness check you sign off the review. It then becomes read-only and is linked as evidence to clause 9.3 of your active standards.

A selection of what AI does in Management review

In the management review, AI writes drafts based on the collected figures; the judgement always stays with management.

A draft for each topic

The AI writing assistant drafts each topic from the collected figures, including trend and data status.

Adopt as conclusion

Each draft has a button to adopt it as a conclusion, so you use the text or edit it first.

A suggested judgement

AI suggests the management judgement per topic; management chooses itself.

This is a selection of the AI capabilities in this module, not everything. AI suggests, you decide. Nothing is applied without your approval.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Management review

How often should we hold a management review?

At least once a year; many organisations add a shorter round every six months or quarter. Set the review cycle and BrydgeOne calculates when the next review is due and sends a reminder when that date passes.

Can we change anything after sign-off?

No. Signing off is final, which is exactly what gives it evidential value. New insights go into the next review or into a separate action.

Does one review cover several standards?

Yes. One signed-off review counts as evidence for clause 9.3 of all your active standards at once.

What if we do not use a particular module?

The topic then shows that there is no automatic source and you add the information yourself. The system distinguishes between a real zero, a module without records and a topic without an automatic source.
