A document control policy is a critical part of every company's business strategy.
This spreadsheet provides you with a comprehensive log for managing and controlling all
critical documentation within your company. Please remember a comprehensive
document control policy must include inputs from your legal counsel, Board of Directors and financial auditors. The time periods suggested in our log for retention and destruction of your
documents are just that, suggestions. It is recommended that you consistently work with the
members of your management team to customize this log to the needs and requirements of your company.
This document is linked to our QUALITY SYSTEMS MANUAL (now being offered on our site) and can be part of your ISO9000 efforts.
