Answer:

Management review meetings are a good moment to evaluate the effectiveness of a QMS by analyzing to what extent quality objectives have been met. Organizations should not use a cookie-cutter approach to define key performance indicators (KPI). What is suitable for an organization with a strategic orientation is not advisable for another one, even in the same economic sector, with a different strategic orientation. For example, if your organization competes on price its KPI are about efficiency and volume. In that case you can use indicators like:
• Rate of complains
• Quality costs
• Capacity utilization
• Suppliers performance
• Production uptime
• Rate of late delivery dates
But if your organization competes on innovation its KPI could be about:
• Rate of complains
• Number of new products launched
• Sales of new products
• Margins of new products
• Number of new patents
