standard operating procedures (SOPs)

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are detailed, written instructions that describe how to perform specific tasks or processes consistently and correctly. They help ensure everyone follows the same steps, maintain quality, and improve efficiency. SOPs cover what needs to be done, how to do it, and any safety or compliance requirements. They serve as a reference for employees to perform their duties reliably, reducing errors and confusion, and supporting training and accountability across the organization.
