A standard operating procedure (SOP) outlines business processes. The content should be simple and the format should be the same throughout your organization. Our free SOP template is the tool you need to standardize your SOPs.
Every department will use the SOP template, so they should all be able to give input.
What information will each SOP need? Your template might include the organization’s name, document title, document number, revision number, signature of approver, etc.
Most SOP templates have sections for purpose, scope, definitions, responsibilities, procedures and revision history. Identify which sections are optional and which are required in your template.
Your Standard Operating Procedure template might need to change as the organization grows. Determine who has the responsibility for those changes.
A standard operating procedure manual used to be a thick binder full of paper copies of SOPs. A more effective SOP manual is electronic and easily accessible from anywhere.
A paper-based SOP will never be as efficient as an electronic one. With MasterControl Quality Excellence™, you can easily control SOP creation, approval and revision.
Use our free SOP template to standardize your SOPs and ensure regulatory compliance.
