Hi quick background, I am new to ISO 9000 the company I work for is creating a QMS and striving for ISO 9000. I took over someone else’s work and that person is no longer with the company.
My question is about the numbering system he set up. It is kind of complicated, it consists of 3 parts. First a alphabet code for what type of document it is, meaning “WI” for work instruction, “F” for form, “AP” for administrative procedure, and so on. Second a 3 digit code that relates to what section in the quality manual the document falls under, example 622 for work instructions because 622 is the section on “competence, awareness and training”. And the third part is just a sequential number given to differentiate documents that fall under the same section of the quality manual. The last part is further broken down as to state what area is being referred too. Example 0001-9999 is the BR line 2000-2999 is the PECVD line, and so on.
So does this sound like a good setup? Is it normal to reference the section of the quality manual that the document falls under?
Thanks,
Matt
