In an industrial or industry context, documentation refers to written or recorded information that provides instructions, information, or evidence about a process, product, or system.
Documentation is used to ensure that a process is executed consistently, to provide training and support, and to maintain a record of the process for regulatory or audit purposes.
Examples:
-
"Our company has strict documentation requirements for all stages of the production process to ensure that our products meet quality standards."
-
"The operator manual is an important piece of documentation that provides instructions on how to use the equipment safely and effectively."
-
"We maintain detailed documentation of all maintenance and repair activities to support continuous improvement and regulatory compliance."
