Standard Operating Procedure is a procedure specific to your operation that describes the activities necessary to complete tasks in accordance with industry regulations, provincial laws or even just your own standards for running your business. Any document that is a “how to” falls into the category of procedures. In a manufacturing environment, the most obvious example of an SOP is the step by step production line procedures used to make products as well train staff. A simple SOP template, in fact, defines expected practices in all businesses where quality standards exist. This guide explains more about this in-depth.

SOPs play an important role in your small business. SOPs are policies, procedures and standards you need in the operations, marketing and administration disciplines within your business to ensure success. Every business has a unique market, every entrepreneur has his / her own leadership style, and every industry has its own best practices. No two businesses will have an identical collection of SOPs. When using the Step-by-step format, you break standard SOPs into numbered (if order matters) or labelled (if not) steps, which makes it easy to accomplish simple tasks. The person using the SOP just has to go down the list. Each step should be a separate action, written in a clear and concise sentence.

When using a hierarchical format, you are using a top-down approach. This allows more complex processes to be broken down. Starting with an overview of the process, hierarchical SOPs zoom in to see the finest details. By using the format, you are showing what to do under the circumstances. Not all processes are going to be as simple as looking at a list of actions. Sometimes, there are still variables to consider. By providing a boilerplate response to possible variables, this format standardizes exactly when you should do what. And takes into account that depending on what else is going on, not every step may be required.

The Standard Operating Procedure template is made in a light color scheme. Template slides help you structure your company’s processes. For example, you can use a template to design instructions for making parts on a milling machine. Also, the slides will be useful when preparing a checklist for the mechanics of a transport company. You can describe the main stages of checking the components of the car before its release on the flight. Step-by-step format can be used for this purpose.

The slides in this template can be used by healthcare professionals to prepare instructions for patients or nursing staff. The slide will also be useful for business trainers when preparing checklists and instructions. The OSH department will also be able to use this template in their daily work. You will be able to develop instructions for the safe handling of various chemicals or instructions for moving forklifts in a warehouse. The Standard Operating Procedure template will be a worthy addition to your collection of professional presentations.
