⚠️ Common Exam Mistake
Common Exam Mistake Alert: many test-takers get this II. The Quality System - Document control \(Evaluate\) question wrong. Will you?
A quality manager must choose how obsolete revisions of controlled work instructions are handled on the shop floor, given the criterion that operators must never be able to mistakenly use an outdated revision. Which practice best satisfies that criterion?
1️⃣ The old revision posted alongside
2️⃣ The revision emailed, old copies kept
3️⃣ Obsolete copies removed immediately
4️⃣ Indefinite personal printed copies
👀 Think about it before you scroll for the answer...
✅ Correct answer: 3) Obsolete copies removed immediately
Immediate removal and marking of obsolete documents at the point of use directly satisfies the never-use-an-outdated-revision criterion; the other practices all leave a superseded document accessible on the floor, creating the exact risk the criterion is meant to prevent.
💡 Exam tip: For document-control evaluate questions, pick the option that physically prevents access to obsolete documents at the point of use, not one that merely adds a new document alongside the old.
