Okay guys & gals... I need your input here.
I'm revamping our Engineering department to finally conform to the Design & Development aspect of ISO 9001:2000. We are currently ISO 9002:1994 and haven't had Design Control instituted, however, that is changing with our transition to 9001. The Engineering dept. has run pretty much foot-loose and fancy-free and is now being reined in.
Here is what I inherited... we have some controlled drawings but only those that are associated with purchased material specification. I want to get all Engineering drawings controlled - yet I am running into significant resistance from the engineers as well as machinists. They are unhappy because if they want to change the position of the bolt holes on a brace (for example), they don't feel they should have to run that through a controlled document change process. They think that the dept. manager should be able to "sign off" on that type of change without having a formal review.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might draw the line? Anyone care to share their thoughts on their own controlled drawing process/procedures?
Thanks!!!!!
