Hello,
I am working on the development of work instructions for multiple departments in my company and have been named lead on the development and implementation of a QMS for our company. I have a question about where to draw the line in reference documents.
For example, I have a 5 step process, and work instructions (step by step How-To's" associated with each step. One of our steps is called "Complete Post Submission Activities" and the work instructions associated with that step describe how to do it. One step in the Work Instruction describes creating a hard copy of the proposal for our internal libray. The question is, how do I reference the instructions for preparation of a hard copy? Do I have a work instruction WITHIN a work instruction or do I expand the one work instruction to include the other?
In the same vein, how can I determine when a work instruction is not needed but a procedure or policy is? I have seen this question asked a hundred times but am still unclear on the definition of each. I assume I define them myself, for our company? Is the development of policy vs. procedure vs. work instruction really THAT subjective?
Thanks for your help.
