Hi everyone
I would like to have your thoughts regarding the control of documents
This is may case:
I have an application to manage the documents of the system management. Into this app, I control the changes, and the creation of documents. Also into this app, is defined the numbering of the...
Hi,
We currently use a document naming system whereby the document revision is included in a file name. While this is useful we are finding problems when we reference or link to documents because when they are updated the links break or the references are invalid. I'd be interested to know...
My company is semi-multinational so we decided to translate the procedures into three languages. How the procedures are numbered and controlled through your experience. And whether the entire procedure or certain points should be translated
Hello there,
Yes this is another question concerning the documentation identification for a Quality Management System (ISO 9001-2015)! Here is the situation, I am in the process of implementing a Quality Management System for my company. I am currently working on the rules that will help us to...
I'm in the process of restructuring our documentnumbering system. Right now we have QCWF-1.1.1.1-01 (Name of Document). I think it's silly I want to change procedures to P001 and so on, Forms to F001 and so on, Work Instructions to WI001 and so on. We have a lot of other documents that don't...
The last question I asked went so well, that leads me to my next question. I have been asked to create a Deviation and Customer Complaint procedure, which I have in process right now. The hold up for the powers that be is my tracking spreadsheets I have created. They have been asked in previous...
Dear All,
In our QMS, we have some documents that we keep both in English (for certification body and oversea customers) and national language (for internal). For these documents is it possible to issue both language (except language content is same) document with same document number? Or...
Hi everybody
I work in a steel manufacturing company and I have to rename about 400 documents comprised of procedures, formats, some other type of documents.
The question is, do I have to change the revision number, if only the codification was changed? nothing changed into the document...
Hello, Covers! Long time listener, first time caller.
First of all, many thanks for the help you guys have (unknowingly) given me over the years. You have been a light in the darkness. I was thrown unprepared into the ISO realm, and I leaned on this forum frequently to survive.
My...
The document control system I inherited is numbered to coincide with AS9100 rev C. For example, the procedure on Control of Nonconforming Product is QP 8.3.1-001. As many people have stated this simplifies life for an auditor, but has a pretty steep learning curve for the everyday operator...
An electronic DHR system is being implemented, which will generate a DHR report to be presented during audits. The report does not currently display page numbers. In my experience, page numbers are a requirement on quality records; otherwise, how would someone know if a page is missing. Is the...
This may sound like a silly question, and perhaps the answer is as obvious as I think it is. As I am developing a new Org Chart for our company, I am surprised to find that our previous one was not assigned a document number or controlled. So my question is, in creating this new one and creating...
Opinions…
A document has an effective date of 5-Jan-2017.
All approvers signed the document on 20-Feb-2017, after the effective date.
Would this be an issue for the FDA or EU (ISO 13485/MDD)?
After a work instruction has been developed and the operations have been named and numbered and frozen, and you find that process runs better in a different sequence. Do the operation numbers have to stay the same even though they will no longer, numerically, be in order?
Hi all,
I'm about to propose to my MGMT group that we change the way our documents are numbered in order to provide better clarity for parent-subordinate documents (document tree), as well as indication by the start of the document number which functional department is responsible for upkeep...
Does the titles that are called out in processes and procedures have to be exact? Example; some of our procedures call out "Quality Director" that was the old title. The new title is "Quality Manager".
Do all the procedures where "Quality Director" is list have to be changed to "Quality...
Issue: I have an Excel spreadsheet that will be used as a record of an individuals training in areas from "production" to "how to access employee information on-line". I've given the blank form a number, e.g., HRTF-6.2-001 30-60-90 Training Record; then HR adds department specific training...
Hi All,
I used to have a DocumentNumbering Matrix that I used to edit/modify when starting new companies, however I've misplaced it and now need to find another one preferably in excel format.
Basically this is usually a document showing how to number all documents by type, a Document...
I'm having a friendly debate with a co-worker. His experience has an original document starting at Rev 0 and the first revision to that document is Rev 1.
My experience is the Original Document is Rev 1 and any changes to it would then become Rev 2.
Is there a right way, or only what...
Hi all,
Bit of a novice on ISO 9001 and I'm in the process of prepping for an external audit.
Can anyone tell me if the document references need to be updated to correspond to the current year i.e. ML-HR 06/15? Initially, the 15 was a 14 as in 2014.
Also, do you need to have printed...
