We give you instructions on how to design and control the documents, comprising the quality system’s procedures; give you instructions on how to carry out revisions, how to identify documents and how to retain them. In fact, this process-approach system is constructed, implemented, and maintained exactly the way it tells you how you should do yours. What is really good here is that whatever you need to know regarding document and data control is in one procedure. Other QOPs often refer you to come here and do your thing according to the stated requirements laid out for you.
