Well if anyone does have to write such an "essay" I suggest the following structure:

Begin with a general discussion on the sort and size of projects who have document controllers. Some statistics on the industry would be good. Estimate how many documents may be involved in an average project - including emails.

Explain the basic purpose and function of project document control and tracking. Stress how this supports the project management and cost management of the project.

Explain the essential types of documents - e.g. drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, meeting minutes, etc. Stress the importance of these sorts of documents.

Explain the basic flow of these documents. Be sure to mention that some of these documents are predictive and some are after the event.

Add an anecdote of how things can go badly wrong or how something was saved by being able / or not being able to track a project document. Add something personal or else quote someone else. In other words, illustrate what you have been talking about. Make it come to life.

End with a one paragraph summary of all of the above.

It’s all in the state of mind. Get well soon Chris.

Hi Guys,

Nevertheless, this question can be answered as follows:

1. Must have a general ledger to register all incoming and outgoing. Full copies must be retained of each.

2. Incoming: The head of the Document Control System must have a process to distribute the incoming. It should go to each section head and then to the responsible person in that section.

3. Outgoing: After retaining a copy, the package can be sent to its destination.

Of course, we can present the above in a more poetic way,

Best,

Samer

Chris,

I laugh at your comment, but you have nothing to do.

Cheers,

Dear Jasmine, you’ll be lucky enough if there is a poet in this planner’s community to help you. Go to internet search, type POETRY, then click go, and it will give you various websites where you can research about making an essay.

Good luck dear. Don’t mess up around here.
