Engineering Electronic Document Management
Course Info
Course Summary
Regardless of industry, any organisation will require efficient document storage and management to function at its peak capacity. This is especially true within the engineering industry, where there are a plethora of important and confidential documents that need to be stored securely.
Electronic document storage and management are crucial to an organisation's functionality. Accurate document classification and storage will allow the necessary personnel to view and access the exact information they require in a timely manner, so employees can continue their tasks with little disruption. An outdated or complicated storage system can severely impact someone’s productivity, as they can spend their valuable time searching for required documents instead of focusing their attention elsewhere.
Document management involves the efficiency of the system and strongly focuses on its security. An organisation is guaranteed to have confidential files that only a select few should be able to access. An ideal system should have strict security measures and approval processes in place to ensure no unwanted person is able to access and potentially tamper with them.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the vitality of an organisation's document control, auditing, and storage.
- Review the security requirements when managing confidential documents.
- Explain how effective filling systems are developed.
- Consider who needs to be involved when creating filling systems.
- Evaluate the consequences of poor documentation storage on business productivity.
- Utilise innovative methods and techniques to create improved filling systems.
- Improve filling and documentation standards.
- Thoroughly understand organisation policies and procedures for document management.
- Introduce documentation management practices and standards.
- Identify ISO standards for documentation standards.
This course is designed for anyone within an engineering organisation responsible for document management. It would be most beneficial for:
- Operation Managers
- Engineering Project Managers
- POM Personnel
- Finance Managers
- IT Managers
- Senior Executives
- Engineering Directors
- Chief Information Officers (CIOs)
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review genuine examples of EDMS systems in established organisations to highlight areas of importance and security measures in place.
They will be provided with the ideal tools and equipment to carry out the learning exercises. Combined with presentations, discussions, and group activities, participants can develop a thorough understanding of the taught content. Furthermore, they will be allowed to develop their own EDMS systems in relation to their respective roles and demonstrate them to one another. This will allow them to see how accessible their systems are and what improvements could be made.
