Bus/Financial - Human Resources / Instructions for setting up audit

French term or phrase: un chrono

This concerns a quality management audit for a cleaning process company, and comes in the section on Corrective and Preventive actions:
'Toute reclamation client (qualite) tout changement susceptible d'influer sur la qualite du produit ou 'change control' (modification equipement, fournisseur, CDC client...) et toute demande exterieure liee a l'environnement sont sur un chrono et donnent lieu a la creation systematique d'une FA.'
and
'Mise a jour du chrono des FA'
The dictionary definition of this is 'a clock'. I know it could also mean 'chronological order', but as it is 'un' chrono, I assume it is something more like a clock. Can you suggest a word for something like this in a factory, or is it just a diary or something, as suggested in an earlier question on this subject in the glossary?

oops... I missed to ad "al".... I wanted to type ******chronological table******. It's 'un chrono' because it stands for 'un tableau chornologique' that can be translated into English as chronological table. So you were right with chronological order or something like that. But it is not "a clock".
