Laboratory manager:

1. Design follow-up plans based on the findings described in the Management Review Report. Also include the action points formulated in this report.
2. Check the Quality Policy and long-term goals of the laboratory and see whether additional plans are necessary.
3. Describe all plans in the new Quality Year Plan and formulate also for these plans action points.
4. Sign and date the Quality Year Plan and store this in the folder Management Reviews and Quality Year Plans behind the correct tab.
5. Make an action plan together with the Quality Officer and include all the action points from the Quality Year Plan.
6. Store the action plan in the Action Plan folder for implementation.
7. Present the new Quality Year Plan to the laboratory staff during a weekly staff meeting, upon which specific staff members are notified of action points assigned to them for completion.
8. Start monitoring timely implementation of the action plan. Do this by adding the action points to the minutes of the weekly staff meeting. This way you can go through the action points every staff meeting and ask for their status of implementation. As the laboratory manager also attends these meetings the staff members that have not yet implemented action points after the deadlines can be forced to implement the action points as soon as possible by the laboratory manager.
