Documenting processes provides control and consistency of how
processes are performed. You will need to document procedures called
out by the standard as well as those required to ensure control of
other processes in your FSMS. This means that your FSMS will have more
documented procedures than just those specifically named in the
standard but these procedures will be useful documents. They will
ensure that processes are being done as management planned and
approved. Conversely, they will ensure that management knows how
processes are being performed. Documented procedures will also make
sure that different people perform the process the same way. You will
not be writing the procedure and putting it in a book on the shelf to
collect dust, you will be building a system where documented procedures
and work instructions will become an important and integral part of
your system.
