What is document control?

Document control is a systematic process used to manage, track, and organize documents within an organization. It ensures that important records, such as policies, procedures, and technical documents, are accurate, up-to-date, and accessible to authorized personnel. Document controllers play a key role in maintaining document integrity, version control, and compliance with industry standards or regulatory requirements. This process is essential in industries like construction, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals to maintain quality and meet audit standards.

Both roles are vital in industries like construction and engineering, but their focus and responsibilities differ slightly.
