  4. DOCUMENT CONTROL - A CORNER STONE SYSTEM How would your organisation cope if your key staff did not return to work on Monday morning? Not very well?Take heart, help is at hand Document control is a Corner Stone system for Business, Quality, ESH and many other systems. Take away the corner stone and the organisation starts to crumble. Many processes and operations have been developed empirically over time. These form a large part of an organisation’s intellectual property. If not documented and kept up to date, that property resides with your staff - not the organisation. Document control is a proven way to retain up to date intellectual property and make certain that staff act in a uniform way - be it managerial, operational, ethical… And it ensures continuity! The Paper Tiger approach to document control works in large and small organisations - but it is not the only system available. Please evaluate carefully to ensure that the system you choose will suit your organisation. X

  5. DOCUMENT CONTROL WHO NEEDS IT? DOES YOUR ORGANISATION NEED IT?? Managed documents created, updated and distributed without controls, will get lost, become out-of-date, obsolete, untraceable, mixed with unauthorised versions. In short, they will become a problem rather than a solution. To enable people in an organisation to pull the same way, everybody must know about and have access to the SAME policies, procedures, manuals, pricelists, instructions... The Document Control Process has the potential to be very disorganised, chaotic and difficult to manage! WHEN was it sent? Paper Tigerwill ORGANISE this information and create a clear and simple management system of distribution, references and review. Paper Tiger manages information about each document and it’s uses. It links the document to auditing and training and triggers redistribution and refresher training when a document is updated or changed. WHO has the document? WHEN was it received? WHO is it from? Any typeof document can be managed To effectively manage controlled documents you NEED TO KNOW PROCEDURES WHAT does it relate to? DRAWINGS WHAT does it reference? SPECIFICATIONS WHO will review it? PRICE-LISTS WHEN will it be reviewed? PICTURES WHERE is it located? MANUALS….. WHAT is it about? X Paper & electronic, internal & external distribution

  6. DOCUMENT CONTROL THE DOCUMENT CONTROL MODULE MANAGES… Information about the document itself DOCUMENT CONTROL is the art of MANAGING and SYNCHRONIZING DISTRIBUTED and SHARED documents The document approval process Documents are NOT stored in Paper Tiger - only critical information about each document is kept in Paper Tiger. Thus any type of document in any format can be managed. Hard or electronic copy, samples, pictures - anything that conveys information and is distributed in a controlled manner can be managed using Paper Tiger. Information about all document users The Document Control module in Paper Tiger manages the document management processes and integrates with other Paper Tiger modules. Distribution to document users References to other documents and standards Documents and standards used in auditing Documents and processes used in training X

  7. DOCUMENT CONTROL A DOCUMENT... Is CREATED in your organisation It’s details are ENTERED into Paper Tiger... Two notices are sent to recipients to confirm and remind them of which documents they have received. ...and DISTRIBUTEDon a needs basis …it is PREPARED fordistribution to recipients The Transmittal notice has to be signed off and returned to show that the document has been received. and a TRANSMITTAL NOTICE which lists the new or updated documents being issued to them at the current time. Recipients receive a PERSONAL INDEX which lists only documents issued to them… DETAILS are entered into Paper Tiger and the distribution loop is closed Has theTRANSMITTALNOTICEbeen returned?

UPDATE and ADD recipients as necessary Once the document is distributed - it is CONFIRMED in Paper Tiger that it has actually been sent. Each distributed Document is accompanied by a TRANSMITTAL NOTICE and a PERSONAL INDEX. X

  12. A TRANSMITTAL NOTICE SHOWS WHAT A PARTICULAR PERSON WILL RECEIVE ON A GIVEN DAY. Document Control : A Step-by-Step Guide The form has a built in mechanism to prevent an OBSOLETE version of this document from circulating. G Campbell will destroy the obsolete documents in his manual. Or you can change the text and ask him to RETURN the superceeded documents with the transmittal notice. The Transmittal Notice The transmittal notice directs Tim to where the documents are available to view Today, G. Campbell received THREE documents. Now, he has to SIGN this form and RETURN it to you - the document controller - so that you know and he knows he has received it. The purpose of these notices is to PROVE & RECORD that people receive what you send. For ELECTRONIC recipents the transmittal notice looks like this.

Extensive research has shown us that a printed transmittal notice is far more effective than an emailed notice to ensure that people actually check the updated or new document. X

  16. WHAT ABOUT ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION? ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT DISTRIBUTION... Electronic Documents are NOT distributed per se - they are made available on a server, intranet or internet site. Document distribution is set up exactly as for hard copy distribution, but electronic recipients do not receive documents or indexes - only notification that documents, policies etc “issued” to them have changed, been updated or made obsolete. Is SETUP exactly as hard copy distribution - on a need basis Each Recipient is labelled either Electronic or Hard copy recipient Paper Tiger manages hard and electronic distribution concurrently. Electronic for staff with access to a PC - Hard for factory floor staff, outside contractors, customers, resellers etc. Hard copy recipients receive Documents + Index + transmittal notice Documents are copied as Read Only documents (eg .pdf) to server or intranet site Electronic Recipients receive HARD COPY Transmittal notices only- listing updated and new documents “issued” to them. They need to look up changes on server/intranet, sign and return the transmittal notice. DETAILS are entered into Paper Tiger and the distribution loop is closed Our experience shows a Printed Transmittal Notice is more effective than an electronic one. AND it provides a hard copy signed record. Has theTRANSMITTALNOTICEbeen returned? YES NO & CONTINUES to be generated until the notice has been returned and the loop closed AREMINDER NOTICEis generated... X
