Re: Procedure numbering system???
I can second that, Claes! When I first arrived at my current job, the numbering system was cumbersome and confusing. Shortly after settling into my new job, the doc ctrl clerk and I worked together to develop a simpler and more logical system. The enormous quantity of procedures, work instructions, formulas, specs, etc. in the QMS all must be changed (DCR'd in our case) to reflect the new numbering system. We've been working on this elephant one bite at a time, though, slowly plugging along. We've made much progress, but there are still many more to be revised.
In a previous life, we used a similar system as described by Discordian and it worked well, if a little cumbersome with all the alpha-numeric designations.
