Validation Protocol for Users Guide

[Harry Bacheler]

A number of organizations that I know of have a 'formal' method for this.

Configuration Management Processes work!

People just have to use them.

Is there a central, approving authority for engineering changes (ECO). 
Because that is what this actually is.  A document is a 'part, and is 
'catalogued' accordingly.

Putting a bit of 'discipline' into thie 'document change process' is the 
first step in getting changes controlled and implemented in time.

I am sure that there might be some 'monetary' value to the documents that 
are created.  the discipline imposed would begin to show that money is being 
spent on the changes and can be budgeted for.

Are the documents 'free' to your customers (external) or are they just given 
away.

Just some thoughts.

Harry
