I am currently in a pickle over this issue. During my pre-assessment audit, the auditor indicated that production travelers are quality records (which is true) and they should have an approval by engineering before release (which is not occurring).
Currently our planner does this on her own. She will generate travelers from the ERP system and inputs operations manually by referencing engineering's work instructions.
My companies ERP system is weak and the travelers printed are more for accounting/ time charge purposes, so no formal approval or revision control can be maintained.
My quick and easy corrective action is to have Engineering sign-off on these travelers before they hit the floor and add an operation to the traveler to document the engineering approval taking place. Another idea is to create flow charts associated to production processes and release them as engineering documents for the planner to follow.
Any input from people would help. I am sort of loss on how to approach this.
Thank you.
