Here's a "jump ball" for you.
(in some cases excerpts of procedures)
If you post an excerpt, haven't you in fact modified the original procedure by eliminating a portion of it? Wouldn't that be the same as changing the original by deleting whatever you don't want? It would seem to me that unless you give the excerpt a new number and then control that, you would be creating a nonconformance.
I had an auditor tell me at a seminar that all "post it" notes had to be controlled or they would be a nonconformance. I told him that may be true in an absolute sense but if he ever wrote it up, he would never be back to my company. End of debate.
Auditors would like to see all documents controlled. It makes an easier life. In fact, all documents don't have to be controlled. You can determine which documents require control and develop a system to control them. Only those which relate to the requirements of the International Standard MUST be controlled and even at that, you have latitude in how you control it.
As with much of ISO/QS/TS, ask "does this make any sense?". If not, why would you do this just to make your auditor happy? He works for you, not the other way around. If you don't think it makes sense, ask him to explain it. If you get "that's the way I interpret it", or "we aren't allowed to consult", call me - I will give you a list of a whole lot of registrars who would like to talk to you.
There are many auditors who are now becoming professional and don't have to go on ego trips showing how they know the letter of the law. The good auditor helps your company by recognizing areas of your system that might affect the relationship with your customers, not on how you notify employees of the upcoming company picnic.
Just my own (getting tired) opinion.
