Create a Simple SOP Template
Involve All Departments
Every department will use the template, so they should all be able to give input.
Metadata
What information will each SOP need? Your template might include the organization’s name, document title, document number, revision number, signature of approver, etc.
Optional and Required Sections
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.
SOP Management
Your SOP template might need to change as the organization grows. Determine who has the responsibility for those changes.
SOP Manuals
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.
