Best Practice in Document Numbering

Hello everyone!

I would like to ask for some help. Our company is aiming for the FSMS certification and one of the requirement is controlling of all documents. I am having a hard time in establishing the document number. 

Can you give an example on how and where to start best in document numbering.?

Thank you in advance!

Hello Shehe,

Document numbering is all up to the site how the document is represented, how it can be identified and can be traced.

EX: QA-CCP-01-001

QA-Quality Assurance

CCP-Critical Control Points

01-Pasteurization Area

001-Revision #1

I have a real easy numbering system

P001

P = Procedure

001= Just a summary

I also have

W = Workinstruction

P = Form

S = Signs

Do not think to much about it an chose something that is easy to remember. In the digital age every code will be find because it will be easy to find on the computer.
