I've just taken over a role that includes ISO9000 managment.
I want to have simple and effective processes which enable continuous improvement by the people in the process. I want to develop systems thinking within the company so that people critically think of how well processes work and and link together.
Our existing document control procedure requires the quality manager (me) to sign off and approve all procedures. Where these are in a specialised technical area then my review adds little. Publishing documents on our electronic document control system applies the document identifier and registers the submitter as document owner - so we have a document control process.
So that people can continually review and improve their processes, I don't see that I add any value in signing off their procedures - what I think is best is that new or changed procedures receive peer review.
So, cam formal document control requiring QM signoff live well with continuous improvement?
What are your comments and suggestions?
