Foundation

Documents

The floor still opens last year's SOP. A revision quietly keeps the old signatures.

The official SOP is a PDF on a shared drive, and three older copies sit beside it. Read and understood is a signed paper list, and a revised SOP quietly keeps the old signatures. Phasis offers the effective version and nothing else. A new version has to be acknowledged again. The author cannot approve their own document.

A document is numbered, typed and versioned, and it moves draft, review, approved, effective. People on the distribution list record that they have read and understood. Downloads are watermarked and logged.

Other modules store their evidence files in the same place. A qualification protocol, a calibration certificate and an SOP sit in one store, with one fingerprint and one backup. The plant does not end up with a second file pile.
