Subject:QUESTION: ISO compliance & archived documents From:Ron Sering CDS <ronaldse -at- MANX -dot- CDS -dot- TEK -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 28 Oct 1997 13:24:32 MST
I've perused the TECHWR-L archives and come up empty, but I was wondering how other organizations have handled documenting changes made to manual review copies to comply with ISO 9000 record-keeping requirements.
Do you write all the changes made to manuals on a separate document (and duplicate effort) or do you simply use the marked-up review copies as your record, notewho made the markups, and when (and rent a warehouse to store them)? The latter seems more practical, to me...
