Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
The development and use of SOPs is an integral part of a successful business system. These documents provide people with the requisite information to perform a job properly and facilitate consistency in the quality and integrity of a product, process, or work flow. SOPs can also be used as a part of a competency based training program since they often incorporate detailed work instructions. When evaluating historical data, SOPs can prove valuable for reconstructing project activities. In addition, SOPs may be used as a checklist when conducting an audit or self evaluation in the workplace. The broader benefits of using SOPs include reduced work effort, improved efficiency, greater consistency, increased safety, and better legal compliance.
