Actually, none of those things mean document control..............they are 'superficial' indications of control.
The schedule has to be approved, distributed or made available to those who need it, changes reviewed, approved and made available, removed when obsolete etc. Doing this electronically makes life soooo much easier!
That doesn't mean stamping it, or giving it a number. If you have a schedule changing that frequently, you will certainly have a challenge to make sure everyone knows 1) it's changed and 2) what changed.
BTW - why does it change so frequently? Is this an indication of (another) problem.........??

, now they've changed their requirement
we have to re-schedule the finished lbs on part 111 and part 222
. In the meantime customer B has called:truce: and they've changed theirs as well
. This happens frequently. Most of our customers are Mexico facilities.
and allow them a very short lead-time (at the expense of an ever changing schedule) You're probably thinking kan-ban would be an answer
but, most often the window of average ordered lbs is so large
it would be impossible to keep that amount available, in addition to requiring an expansive warehouse to keep "stock", which is a bad word
.
