Question: is it necessary/recommended to maintain these as separate controlled documents?
If recommended, why?
It seems to me that, for example, "control of documents" and "control of records" would go nicely together in a single document control SOP.
Or another example might be workplace, infrastructure, maintenance and control of equipment all being contained in a single "Resource Management" SOP.
We've got a system where the number of documents is huge. A new SOP seems to be written everytime there is a new "documented procedure" requirement.
If I could start from scratch, it'd be nice to create a compliant system with a minimal number of documents to maintain....
P.S. also made a post in the EU MD sub-forum, where I may have (mistakenly?) jumped to the conclusion that separate documents are not required.
I think the discussion as to whether or not this is the case, or even recommended, best belongs in this thread though...
