I work at a small translation company that was purchased last year, and since the merger there has been a great deal of change. As a result, many Work Instructions are not up to date. For one, we can't update the documentation as fast as the changes occur. More importantly, in many cases we know that a WI is out of date, but we don't have the information needed to fully update the document. For example, I have a Employee Set up and Orientation checklist that mentions old HR practices, but at present I don't know exactly what all the new HR practices are, and I probably won't find them all out until we hire someone again. The managers of each department have updated many WIs, but there are still several that are not high priority to fix.
For a long term solution, I'm looking into moving our docs to a Wiki so they can be more easily updated, but that won't happen for a while. I've seen some helpful posts regarding Wikis here in the forum.
At present, is there anything I can do with these partially incorrect WIs?
1. Can add comments to individual WIs that note which sections need to be updated? If I add a comment, then the document should be given a new revision number, right?
2. Should I just make these documents "for reference only" instead of WIs?
Thanks in advance for your help!
