So, a brief introduction, I recently took over our TS 16949 system. Long story very short, it just (two minutes ago) came to my attention that our numbering scheme for 3rd level documents is crap. Now I need to create a new one.
My thought is along the lines of:
DOCUMENT TYPE-DEPARTMENT-THREE DIGIT NUMBER
So
QA-ASY-001
Would be the first quality alert for assembly.
The thing is, I now have to determine what all the potential types of documents there could be. So far I've come up with:
Operator Job Instruction (for assembly operations)
Machine Settings Instruction
Quality Alert
Work Instruction (ie, how to write a document, how to look something up in the MRP system, etc...)
Can someone give me a hand here? Maybe suggest a numbering scheme that they use or tell me what I'm overlooking? My boss wants this by tomorrow.

The time table for doing this seems unusually short, but some managers expect the difficult to be done now and the impossible to be done by tomorrow.
