Management perspective from the API Spec Q1 Bare Minimum Kit:
The Company recognizes that it has to manage processes identified in the quality policies handbook; however, management itself must also be treated as a process. This means that management activities must have inputs, outputs, controls and reaction plans (when things do not work out as expected.) The Company must consider the results of analyses and evaluations and the outputs from management reviews to determine if there are needs or opportunities to be addressed as part of continual improvement.
