An operational SOP (standard operating procedure) is a documented, step-by-step instruction for performing routine, day-to-day work — machine setups, changeovers, shift handovers, order processing — the same correct way every time, regardless of who performs it. It defines the task, the steps in order, who is authorized to do them, and the records that prove the work was done.
Learn the main types of SOPs, including operational, safety, quality, compliance, HR, maintenance, and emergency SOPs, and how to choose the right standard operating procedure for your team.
