PROCEDURE
Page No: 1/3
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to define the methods for managing changes to processes and other aspects of
the management system in a controlled manner.
2. SCOPE
All the processes and people working under the control of the organisation.
3. DEFINITIONS
3.1. “Process Output”
the steps and the results of any process; these are typically defined in the Unit’s Process Flow Diagrams for
each top-level process.
3.2. change control
configuration management activities for control of the output after formal approval of its product configuration
information
4. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Unit Managers, Management Representative and General Manager is responsible for implementation and
management of this procedure.
5. PROCEDURE
5.1. CHANGES TO PROCESSES
The appropriate Unit’s Process Flow Diagrams will be updated to reflect the change. This document will
undergo review and approval per the PR.01 Documented Information Procedure. The revision indicator
of Unit’s Process Flow Diagrams will be incremented, and the nature of the change recorded.
The follow-up verification step of the CAR process shall seek to ensure the change has had the intended
effect, and/or has improved the process. If not, the change may be rolled back or a new change made to
correct any new issues that arise as a result of the change.
5.2. CHANGES TO PROCESS OUTPUTS
The methods for changing process outputs are typically defined in the Unit’s Process Flow Diagrams. Where a
process output is a document, the rules for changing documents above shall apply.
Formal changes to process outputs will be used when the change is significant. Minor changes may be made
without formal control, however the decision on what constitutes a significant vs minor change must be
agreed upon by those involved in the change. If a customer indicates a change is significant, this will trump
any internal decision.
5.3. CHANGES TO DOCUMENTATION
Management system documents undergo changes when there is a need to revise them.
Changes to documentation are done in accordance with the PR.01 Documented Information Procedure.
