When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This review is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this review covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Management System Governance programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links internal audits, management review
Not for
- Improvement Suggestion Record, which captures an improvement idea from anybody, with what it would change and who could own it.
- Continual Improvement Project Record, which records a structured improvement project, from problem statement through measurement to sustained result.
- Benchmarking Record, which records a comparison of performance or practice against another site, a peer or an industry figure.
- Anything outside KnowComply, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
