 As part of your Q M S, all documents need to be controlled. This task is usually assigned to a document control administrator. It is that person’s responsibility to insure that all QMS documentation is controlled and all requested changes/revisions to controlled documents go through a formal review and approval process. If changes are approved, the Document Control Administrator is responsible, to insure that all approved changes are made, the revision level/date are properly updated, revised documentation (either paper or electronic) is made available as required to the areas in which they are used, and superceded documents are retrieved and dispositioned. If a company does not have the personnel or technical expertise (i.e. word processing, formal documentation, database, spreadsheet capability), it may be difficult to keep up with this responsibility.
KAVON maintains a professional office staff that supports our consultants while they are on various client projects. These same office services can be made available to our clients on an as needed or contract basis to handle all aspects of the ISO program document control requirements. Communication can be co-coordinated through on-site visits, telephone, fax, mail, or e-mail. Optionally, our consultants can review the changes for conformance to the applicable standard. |
