Let's talk about record control? How do you manage them?

Record control is a system how all records are kept and managed.  Record essentially is a completed forms that serve as evidence that process or task has been completed per given procedure.


This procedure is a compliment to Document Control process.
Record is a gain tedious but crucial in proving conformity during audits.  It is the OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE we talked so many time in my last post.
Record contain the following information:

• A unique reference number as document identification

• The record title (or suitable description of the form)

• The location of the record. (office, on website link, production etc)

• The retention period which applies (typically 3 years for quality record)

• The person responsible for retaining the quality record (most probably process owner)
