Ten questions for any change
- Who owns it, and is it on the log?
- Is every impact line answered, with none Not sure?
- Can it affect product safety, and why not?
- Which documents and programs change, and who withdraws the old ones?
- What is the one effectivity point, and what happens to every lot before it?
- Does the customer need to approve it, or be told?
- Is an FAI needed, full or partial?
- Was it approved before anything moved?
- Does the first product at the new revision match everything released, at the machine?
- Is the configuration register updated, with the effectivity?
