Abstract
A structured preparation and approval process for international documents was recently reported by Wyeth-Ayerst (1). The process includes a structured series of writing-team meetings beginning while studies are still in progress. These meetings are designed to gain commitment and approval at early writing stages from all parties who will need to approve the final documents. The company now reports over three years of experience with this process. Problems have been identified and solved, and the system has improved with the addition of technological features such as electronic prototypes, editing, and transatlantic electronic mail. Large international documents can be produced, reviewed, and approved in a timely manner.
