Our records retention for gage R&R's are:
The long form data (for new gages) is entered and stored electronically in our gagepack software.
Short form hard copy (for gage R&R's on yearly calibration) is retain latest copy only in case of computer failure. Only the results are entered electronically as part of the calibration.
The TS auditor asked our internal auditor why we don't keep them longer. He said the history may be helpful. I think the electronic data and results are sufficient. Should the hard copies be kept longer?
If the auditor makes suggestions, should we take these suggestions into consideration and make corrections?
Thanks
