∞The question
becomes: Who can review and who can approve (yes, it
can be one person who does both) new and changed
procedures (systems included). And the answer is not always simple in larger companies. But again to cite
the famed document pyramid, in larger companies there are layers and functional areas which address issues they are
responsible for. There are supposed to be suitable
reviews and approvals.
∞The
bottom line is no procedure,
new or changed, should change
compliance to standards, customer requirements or other such requirements such as legal,
federal, state and local
regulations. If this is not
the case, your document control system, and probably other systems
(e.g. Design) is (are) not
compliant.
