Document control
A superseded WPS reaches the floor because the controlled document existed but the control didn't — and the sealed handover pack is still gathered by hand at the end.
How it works
- 01
Put the document under control
A WPS, drawing or procedure enters as a controlled document, with a revision and a status.
- 02
Supersede, never edit
A new revision supersedes the old one; the previous copy is marked superseded and the history stays intact.
- 03
The pack builds as you go
Because each document was controlled all along, the MRB/MDR assembles from them instead of being gathered at the end.
What it covers
Controlled documents
Revisions and status, so the current version is unambiguous.
Distribution & acknowledgement
Who holds the current copy, and who is still on an old one.
Linked to the work
Documents attached to the jobs, joints and steps they govern.
The handover dossier
The MRB/MDR assembled from controlled documents as the work happens.
Immutable issue
A controlled document is superseded, never edited — the history stays.
Document control is the plumbing; the dossier is the payoff
Two things live here. Document control is the discipline — controlled documents, revisions, who holds the current copy, and the link to the work a document governs. The handover dossier is what that control produces: because every procedure, certificate and report was controlled all along, the sealed pack assembles as the work happens rather than being reconstructed at the end.
