Document control

The change itself, controlled. neolumi drafts and checks; a person decides and signs, and the signature does the rest.

·01One library, under control

Every file is a document or a record, and a person decides which. A document carries its number, its owner, the revision in force and the date of its next review.

·02A change is a record

A revision moves through a numbered change with its author's reason. Until it is in force, the draft is invisible to every training, every assessment and the trainee's helper.

·03Edits neolumi proposes

Say what has to change and neolumi proposes edits, each placed on the revision in force. Take or decline them one at a time.

·04Checked before review

Before anyone signs: who retrains, which documents it leaves out of step, and which clauses and rules the draft now serves less well. What got worse is fixed or settled with a reason.

·05Signed off by class

An editorial change goes to quality assurance. A substantive one goes to a reviewer, an approver and quality assurance at once. Whoever drafted it signs nothing.

·06In force at the last signature

The revision is in force the moment the last person signs. Only a substantive change retrains; an editorial one carries the training onto the new revision.

·07Its life in force

Periodic review prepared before it falls due. Made obsolete rather than deleted. Printed as a copy that says it is not kept up to date.
