Use QM module for ISO

Can we use QM module to control the process of developing and maintaining ISO documents and requirements?

This should include the followings:
- Quality document control updates and versioning and distribution.
- Quality audit scheduling.
- Non-conformity reports.

There are ways to address these issues, but it depends what release you are on.

If you are using the newer products such as CRM - there is a fully developed Audit Management tool for the scheduling of audits (any kind of audit) in which you can create question lists and develop an Audit Plan. This Audit Management Tool is incorporated into the new Enterprise release.

If you are using any of the older releases you can use the Inspection Planning process to develop your audit questions. One can also get clever by creating 'Dummy Materials' and 'Dummy Batches' and use Shelf Life Expiry to trigger your inspection lots (audits).

The standard Document Management System should take care of your ISO documents - including version control, etc.
