Crusader; to my way of thinking if you only have one document then an email stating that it is to be controlled and xyz is how its done, fulfills the requirement. Just pin it up on the office wall - finshed.

Great 4 day recertification audit with only 4 findings - all minor. The answer to the original post is "yes". Basically, all forms of doc control must be defined. But that is not what we were told awhile back. So, more work for me. Keeps me busy....:)
Congrats, Crusader!!!:applause:
Let us know how you will proceed with the issue of the documentation after our suggestions.
Were the other findings more critical than this one?:bigwave:

- This reference doc (and it is truly a ref only doc) will get a control number and be a formal doc just to prevent future auditor misinterpretation.

Other 3 were minor and unrelated.
- Pressure check gates were id'd as ref only because I was instructed to let it go that way and the auditor said "Nope - must be calibrated." Yeah, well I pointed that out a long time ago. Oh well.
- Posted doc was not being followed.
- Hardness callout was confusing to the auditor as to whether it was a Brinell or a Rockwell scale. We knew but the auditor didn't.

...but this is a reference inspection - it is not required. We have it there for reference only as an "aid" to the process.
(my emphasis)

I have to say, if the activity is not required, don't do it. If it's something that helps the process, build it into the process, and the documentation for that process (which of course will be controlled).

This kills two birds with one stone...removing cost from the product and the source of a potential non-conformance.

By the way, I would expect that any document used in the delivery of a product, including inspection, is controlled and would raise a NC if it wasn't.

Hope this helps

Are the forms needs to be controlled? If yes, do i have to stamp the forms and distribute according to distribution list as indicated in our procedure? What about Service contracts with clients? If this will be controlled, do i have to stamp this also? I need somebody to help a newbie like me.Thanks in advance!
