Chinese term or phrase: 编制说明
It's a subtitle for a procedural document of quality management system. I've seen too many translations, such as compiling statement, compilation description, illustration for compilation, after checking on Google. I wonder which one makes more sense.

Thank you for your insight!

Explanation:
compilation description 比较贴切。 此处的“说明”应该是对操作程序文档编制信息的简短介绍,例如编制时间、人员、审核情况、版本信息等,因此statement并不合适,而illustration的意思是“图解”,在有图片说明的情况下才能使用这个单词。因此compilation description是最佳选择。

Development Description


Explanation:
If the verb form of "编制" can be understood as "to produce" or " to create" (a quality management system), then there is a word for this -- "develop". Thus in noun form, "development".

FYI.
