“People tend to name documents the way they want to name it and it’s hard for others to find the document because it’s not named the way they would name it. So we create a system with a standard file naming procedure that everybody follows, creating organized digital files, making it easily accessible and easy to find.” — Pamela Mims
“You should have your forms, your checklists, and repeatable actions documented in the workstation manual so that you don’t have to train people over and over.” — Pamela Mims
