Need some advice here. Our company is transitioning to be ISO-9001:2008 certified. We have never had any kind of QMS certification before. The culture here is VERY old.
Currently, drawings are distributed by 3 different departments: Customer jobs (Engineering), Stock Runs (Inventory Control) and parts orders (Parts/Service). I find this disturbing due to the fact that there is a huge risk of the integrity of the data being compromised.
I have given direction to revert to the original method of drawing disribution through the Engineering department. Also, I have organized the drawings by part number and customer name. The old method was to put them in a folder by letter. For example, Mfg. Corp would be stored in a folder marked 'M' along with every other job whose customer name began with 'M'.
My question is, has anyone else seen or experienced part and/or assembly drawings being controlled and distributed in three different areas? If so, how is it handled at your company?
The employees here are more concerned with 'getting it done faster' than getting it done right, and of course, any change is a bad one right now due to the very old, embedded culture.
