What is the purpose of management review in CBM T6?

• A. Senior management assesses quality system performance, risk posture, CAPA status, and resource needs to drive improvement
• B. Micro-manage day-to-day operations
• C. Evaluate only financial performance
• D. Replace QA with management oversight

Answer: (A)

Management review focuses on governance: senior leaders evaluate how the quality system is performing, the current risk posture, the status of corrective and preventive actions, and whether resources are sufficient to meet objectives. This periodic assessment provides the basis for decisions that drive improvements across processes and controls, ensuring the organization uses evidence from performance and CAPA status to strengthen the system. It isn’t about micromanaging daily tasks, nor is it limited to financial metrics, and it doesn’t replace QA—QA handles day-to-day quality activities while management oversight steers overall effectiveness and continual improvement.
