One of my clients numbered each of their processes. They use a three level numbering system. For example:
03-01-04
The first set of digits reflect the process (process number 3). The process map would have a designation of 03-00-00
The second sets of digits reflect the procedure number. In this case, it deals with the first procedure for process #3. The base procedure would be 03-01-00.
The third set of digits represent the work instruction level. In this case, this is the 4th work instruction governed by the first procedure of process # 3.
Forms are considered work instructions, this particular document may be an actual work instruction, or a form. You cannot tell from just the number.

depends on size of your site - we have thousands of controlled docs and we have thousands of employees and contractors on site which is heavy manufacturing industry - so really need numbering codes to achieve uniquely identified documents and avoid similarly named documents
