Should the final draft of the Quality manual and procedures be printed?
What happens if we choose to keep the printed copies?
According to the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 (cl. 7.5.2.b) the Organization chooses the documented information format (electronic or printed(hard) copy).
Is it more difficult to manage a hard copy of the Manual, including making changes.
On the other hand, it is a common practice to have a hard copy of the Manual for familiarization and training purposes. In this case, such a copy is not supposed to be managed, and it will not be updated when changes are made.
