I hope that somebody can help me out with a Form vs. Tool debate.
I had an Engineer put in a request for a new document that he is calling a form. This document, "PDCA Problem Solving Form" reflects the Plan, Do, Check Act process, along with the 4M's Fishbone Diagram, and will be used as a problem solving tool. Once all information is filled in and the solution is implemented, the form will be discarded.
Years ago an ISO auditor told me that if you put the word "Tool" in the title of your document, the document did not need to be controlled. I do not know if this is true or not.
My question is this, "Since the document is not retained at all, does it need to be titled "form", and does it need to be controlled?"
Thanks in advance!
