Excellent overview of the process by Larry. Direction has to be set by the  
RIM organization. A lot of homework is required in coming up with a good  
inventory and defined records series. RIM starts the action with its  investigation 
and recommendation--department personnel needs advice and their  concerns are 
primarily operating needs. In many cases changes will occur as you  legal 
clearances. The functions mentioned in the inquiry will differ from  organization 
to organization but they are all part of the approval process. One  added 
item. In may technical organizations a Quality Assurance participation is  
needed, particularly in consumer product lines.
