ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented system and method and a computer readable medium for complying with the requirements of a quality standard known as ISO 9000. The areas covered include controlled documentation, training management, meetings and reports, process improvement requests, project management, and audit management. All controlled documents have a security and revision control portion that controls the access and approval capabilities of the documents. The system is form controlled. Certain individual fields of the forms require the entry of data, and field's control are controlled by certain fields of other forms, with the fields being updated by other fields in the system, operator entry of data, and a combination of control by both the system and operator entry. The system includes an ISO matrix relating each document to an ISO clause. The system has a controlling document for each delineated activity, and all other documents relating to such activity are linked as a child of the controlling document. An audit trail is created by storing and making available previous iterations of current documents as child documents, insuring that the first issue, subsequent changes to content, movement to draft status, reprieval, and reissue are available for auditing the activities of the business.
