| document control and management: How to Establish a Document Control System for Compliance with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, and FDA Requirements Stephanie L. Skipper, 2015-10-12 This book explains the requirements for compliance with FDA regulations and ISO standards (9001/13485) for documented information controls, and presents a methodology for compliance. The document control system (DCS), or documented information control system (DICS), is the foundation of a quality management system. It is the first quality system element that must be implemented because the establishment and control of documented processes and information in a quality-controlled environment is dependent on the ability to proactively manage access to documents and the movement of documents through the document life cycle. A well-developed document control system benefits business by: Improving knowledge retention and knowledge transfer within and across business units Improving access to knowledge-based information Improving employee performance by providing standardized processes and communicating clear expectations Improving customer communication and satisfaction by providing documented information from which common understanding can be achieved Providing traceability of activities and documentation throughout the organization Improving organization of and access to documents and data Sample documents are included in the appendixes of this book to help clarify explanations. This book provides a process-based approach that can be used for controlling all forms of documented information that are required to be managed under the quality management system. |

| document control and management: Effective Document and Data Management Bob Wiggins, 2016-04-29 Effective Document and Data Management illustrates the operational and strategic significance of how documents and data are captured, managed and utilized. Without a coherent and consistent approach the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization may be undermined by less poor management and use of its information. The third edition of the book is restructured to take this broader view and to establish an organizational context in which information is management. Along the way Bob Wiggins clarifies the distinction between information management, data management and knowledge management; helps make sense of the concept of an information life cycle to present and describe the processes and techniques of information and data management, storage and retrieval; uses worked examples to illustrate the coordinated application of data and process analysis; and provides guidance on the application of appropriate project management techniques for document and records management projects. The book will benefit a range of organizations and people, from those senior managers who need to develop coherent and consistent business and IT strategies; to information professionals, such as records managers and librarians who will gain an appreciation of the impact of the technology and of how their particular areas of expertise can best be applied; to system designers, developers and implementers and finally to users.

| document control and management: Document Control Denise Robitaille, 2011-09 They’re supposed to be useful tools, but whether they’re printouts, computer files, flowcharts, or forms, documents can often give more headaches than help. And yet without them, most organizations couldn’t function. ISO 9001 and other quality management systems place great emphasis on documents, and for good reason. Documents aren’t individual, stand-alone elements of the management process. They’re interrelated, formatted in different media, and controlled by various and distinct functions. Keeping critical information current and in the right hands requires more than just signing off on procedures. Document control is essential, but where should you begin? Inside you’ll find clear explanations about the document control process as well as practical solutions for creating, organizing, and maintaining documents, including: A discussion of different kinds of documents, including electronic media and QMS requirements Identifying and defining responsibility Understanding the relationship between documents and records Tips for document writers Managing and maintaining documents Issues of accessibility Handling revisions and deviations Writing document control procedures |
| document control and management: Enterprise Content Management, Records Management and Information Culture Amidst E-Government Development Proscovia Svärd, 2017-04-13 This book identifies key factors necessary for a well-functioning information infrastructure and explores how information culture impacts the management of public information, stressing the need for a proactive and holistic information management approach amidst e-Government development. In an effort to deal with an organization's scattered information resources, Enterprise Content Management, Records Management and Information Culture Amidst E-Government Development investigates the key differences between Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Records Management (RM), the impact of e-Government development on information management and the role of information in enhancing accountability and transparency of government institutions. The book hence identifies factors that contribute to a well-functioning information infrastructure and further explores how information culture impacts the management of public information. It highlights the Records Continuum Model (RCM) thinking as a more progressive way of managing digital information in an era of pluralization of government information. It also emphasizes the need for information/records management skills amidst e-Government development. Ideas about records, information, and content management have fundamentally changed and developed because of increasing digitalization. Though not fully harmonized, these new ideas commonly stress and underpin the need for a proactive and holistic information management approach. The proactive approach entails planning for the management of the entire information continuum before the information is created. For private enterprises and government institutions endeavoring to meet new information demands from customers, citizens and the society at large, such an approach is a prerequisite for accomplishing their missions. It could be argued that information is and has always been essential to all human activities and we are witnessing a transformation of the information landscape. - Presents research with broad application based on archives and information science, but relevant for information systems, records management, information culture, and e-government - Examines the differences between Enterprise Content Management and Records Management - Bridges a gap between the proponents of Enterprise Content Management and information professionals, such as records managers and archivists |

| document control and management: Designing a World-Class Quality Management System for FDA Regulated Industries David N. Muchemu, 2008-04 This is an autobiographical treatise of an American citizen raised during a period our nation was placed on trial in the battle for the civil right of racial equality. This writing presents a candidly plain perspective of a desire and struggle for the divine right every human being is entitled to, to come to know the truth about where mankind came from and where it is going. The journey is one we all make through the space we are allowed to experience this physical realm. This work, however, presents a bold and provocative argument to support the fact that the reality of our existence as created and pro-created spirit beings is eternal. This writing chronicles the joy and sorrow from the heights and depths involved with human relationships. The author discloses his intimate and personal experience(s) with the Elohim (God) of creation before and after his spiritual rebirth/pentecost. The writer details of such experiences that would summon the response of a US president and later result with the writer being one of the first to quantify and articulate specific technological audit incentive oversights which catalyst the greed of financial gain as exposed in America's executive corporate culture, i.e. Enron, World Com and others before conception of the Sarbannes Oxley Act. The ultimate focus and culmination of this work is to praise and extol Yahweh-Elohim, our Heavenly Father, as he has visited his creatures and children one last time in the body of Henry Clifford Kinley. This work proclaims his eternal reward of a spiritual peace, joy and happiness that embodies the power to suffer opposition. The world as a whole, is ignorant of this Divine Philosophy.

| document control and management: Guide to Quality Management Systems for the Food Industry Ralph Early, 2012-12-06 Whenever I step into an aeroplane I cannot avoid considering the risks associated with flying. Thoughts of mechanical failure, pilot error and ter rorist action fill my mind. I try to reassure myself with statistics which tell me there is greater chance of injury crossing the road. The moment the plane takes off I am resigned to my fate, placing faith in pilots who are highly qualified and superbly trained for the task of delivering me safely to my destination. To be a passenger in an aeroplane is to express faith in the systems used by the airline. It is to express a faith in the quality of the airline's organisation and the people who work within it. The same is true of surgery. Thoughts of mortality are difficult to avoid when facing the surgeon's knife. However, faith in the surgeon's training and skill; faith in the anaesthetist and theatre technicians, faith in the efficient resources and quality of the hospital all help to convince that there is little need to worry. Apart from flying and surgery there are many facets of life which entail risk, but, knowing the risks, we willingly place our confidence in others to deliver us safely. In the consumption of food, however, few of us consider the risks. Everyday, if we are fortunate, we eat food. Food sustains and gives us pleasure. Food supports our social interactions. |
