can the management manual have only "Issued" and "Approved"?
Or it should be: "Issued", "Checked" , "Approved" ?
if so, can the "checker" and "approved" be the same person?
I think I've missed something here.
Why does a management manual have to be approved?? If so, why can it not be done by the person who writes it?? Whats wrong with a statement, this document is approved by the executive management or, whatever the main job title is?
In my view, a manual is not a document required for the planning, operation and control of the business with such importance that approval signatures are required. As I see it, a manual is a road map to whatever management system it the subject matter is.
Links to the document are sent to key stakeholders to read it and comment on it if they want??
