Plan, Do, Check, Act Model – Act

Basic Information

Act Check Plan Do This stage continues the step-by-step action plan for developing and implementing the elements of an EMS. At this point, you should have identified problems with your EMS and should act to resolve these issues. One approach is discussed below.

Conduct Management Reviews

Use the results of your internal audits (along with other information on the EMS) to conduct management reviews. Management should consider the need for any changes to the EMS and make assignments for any changes needed. Such assignments should be consistent with the roles and responsibilities previously established.

Plan, Do, Check, Act

After acting on the results of management review, tasks performed in the "Plan" stage should be revisited, thus continuing the "full circle" process.
