Melissa Stanfield Jan 19, 2007:
Hi! If your question means "is 'as appropriate' better than 'as a appropriate', then the answer is yes."As a appropriate" doesn't make sense in English, because "appropriate" here is an adjective, not a noun.
Eg: you can say "as an appropriate measure :)

you don't need it

I think you are asking if "as appropriate" is really needed in the sentence as it does not appear in the Japanese version.

You don't need to add "as appropriate" at the end to make the sentence correct. It is not incorrect to add "as appropriate" but I would word it like Melissa did.

"Establishes and revises the Quality Manual." is OK on its own.

(Establishes the Quality Manual and revises) as appropriate/when necessary

these are fine

I assume "as a appropriate" is a typo - this wouldn't make sense

I would change the order too as the manual is only established once ;)
