Your Quality Manager Just Quit
The person who owned your quality management system gave notice — or already left. They were the management representative, the registrar's main contact, the one who ran management review, closed corrective actions, and answered customer quality questions. Now the CAPA log is aging, customer complaints are routing to people who don't know the process, and the next surveillance audit is on the calendar with nobody clearly in charge. Hiring a replacement takes months. Your certificate doesn't wait.
What This Is Costing You
Open corrective actions aging with no owner — the first thing an auditor will pull
Customer complaints and scorecards slipping because nobody is managing the response
Management review, internal audits, and KPI reporting quietly stopping
A rushed hire made under pressure instead of the right hire made with a clear role
Our Approach to Your Situation
A proven method, built from years of engagements, tailored to your situation. Here is how we solve this problem:
Discovery
We take inventory fast: open CAPAs, audit calendar, customer requirements, registrar dates, and which duties were only ever in one person's head. We agree on what must not slip in the next 90 days.
Define the Path
A continuity plan with two tracks: keep the system running now, and define the role so the next hire succeeds. Clear owners, clear dates, clear decision points.
Training
We bring the people covering the gap up to speed on the standard, the CAPA process, and how to speak to the registrar and customers with confidence.
Implement
Interim quality leadership working alongside your team: closing aged CAPAs, running management review, keeping internal audits on schedule, and handling customer quality communication.
Verify & Validate
We confirm the system is audit-ready and the backlog is under control — then help you evaluate candidates against a role description built from what the job actually requires.
Sustain
A structured handoff to your new quality leader, plus check-ins through their first surveillance audit so the transition holds.
What You'll Have at the End
A quality system that kept running through the transition — no lapsed certificate, no surprise findings
A clean CAPA log and an up-to-date audit calendar handed to your next quality leader
A clear role definition and a new hire set up to succeed from day one
