What will be an ideal response?


In ISO 9000 a great deal of emphasis is placed on the need for excellent record keeping. In most cases, since the product has left the manufacturing facility or the service has been performed, only clearly kept records can serve as evidence of product or service quality. Sloppy or poorly maintained records give the impression of poor quality. High-quality records are easy to retrieve, legible, appropriate, accurate, and complete. Necessary records may originate internally or be produced externally. Customer or technical specifications and regulatory requirements are considered external records. Examples of internally produced records include forms, reports, drawings, meeting minutes, problem-solving documentation, and process control charts.
