This 2-hour webinar from the NIST Office of Weights and Measures (OWM) introduces the Laboratory Management Review process as an essential tool to align top management with laboratory operations and foster quality calibration practices.

Class Information

Learning Objectives

At the end of (or during) this session, using your notes, ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and NIST HB 143, you will:

IDENTIFY management review criteria (Section 8.9) in ISO/IEC 17025, NIST HB 143, and your laboratory quality manual and related procedures;
LIST the personnel that should participate in a management review;
LIST the 15 elements that are typically discussed during a management review;
SELECT sources of objective evidence that are used during a management review;
DISCUSS the value and benefits of management reviews; and
APPLY the management review and process to laboratory scenarios.

Audience

Laboratory personnel who have responsibilities for developing, implementing, and/or improving the quality management system in their laboratory as well as those who are seeking OWM recognition and/or accreditation or improvements to support recognition/accreditation. This webinar is especially useful for administrative or management staff who participate in management reviews and monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the resulting action items. This webinar is especially helpful for laboratory personnel and for the managers/administrators involved in the regular management review sessions. This course is also available for non-weights and measures participants.

Minimum Requirements

Successful completion includes completing pre-work assignment, full attendance, and active participation in the session activities and discussions.

Registration Fee

The current registration fee for webinars is $350, and confirmed participants will receive payment instructions. Payment deadline is 30 calendar days before the class. Registration fees for State weights and measures metrologists are funded by NIST OWM.
