Document hierarchy

Answer:
Any management system will have several types of documents. The purpose of a document hierarchy is to give a sense, a positioning for each type of document. Please check Figure 1 in this blog post, “How to structure ISO 14001 documentation” (https://advisera.com/14001academy/blog/2016/11/28/how-to-structure-iso-14001-documentation/ )

The number of procedures, their scope and depth will be a function of each organization. Normally, I create a procedure for each process and If any more documented information is needed I use work instruction.

The following material will provide you information about the document hierachy:
