Overview
What this RAVS document does
A quality management system needs clear lines of responsibility, authority, and communication. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor assigns job duties, appoints a management representative, and communicates the effectiveness of the quality system.
This document states your company's responsibility, authority, and communication in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: management's role and duties, the management representative, customer focus, and effectiveness and communication. It is written to a quality management standard. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
