Hi all ,

In our company the top position was General Manager, but the directors have recently decided to change the General Manager title to Managing Director with same responsibility & authority. What are all the impacts in our quality manual. Is i need to revise my manual to reflect this change including the procedures and forms (We have some around 40 procedures & 50 forms)or any other way to indicate this change?.

Please clarify.

If you have extensive references to "General Manager" in your documentation, you can avoid a lot of trouble by just adding a note to your quality manual stating that all references to "General Manager" in the documentation should be understood to refer to the position of "Managing Director." Just out of curiosity, why would there be a reference to the GM position in all of those documents and forms?

Thanks Mr.Jim. Actually our top management wants to involve all the process directly, so most of the processes involved in our company were been finally approved by him.

Also i want to clarify with you that which part of the manual i should attach the "note for changing position".

Maybe just a "Find and Replace" function in MS Word would get it done and over with, with a single note in the change history. Doesn't sound like a big battle worth fighting.

Why alter the manual ? If the responsibilities remained the same but there was only a position name change (question of semantics) I would´nt change a thing... I think there must be bigger and better things to worry about...

But... if one must document it, why not a simple letter signed by the Director(s) stating the change from General Manager to Managing Director...

What about other documents such as the Org Chart and Job Description?
