Q
Trying to get control
of documentation at my new(ish) job. Is there a "Rule of thumb" when it comes to defining what needs to be a "controlled document"? There are a lot of checklists and so forth. So far I have made most of them controlled blanks since the information within them contantly changes; i.e. shipping checklist. I say, "if it is used to do your job, if we keep a copy as a record, or a copy is sent to a customer, it needs to be controlled". Am I on the right track so far? But then I was asked about Advertising Brochueres. Were talking boxes of these already printed. I did not want to make a pricey decision without being informed on this. I'm leaning towards them not needing them but that may just be because it is a waste of money to have them reprinted. Plus we do not use them to do any specific job. Any help :truce:would be appreciated!!
