Q: How do I create an SOP?

To create an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure), start by defining the goal of the task and who it’s for. Break the process into clear steps in the exact order the work is done. Add key details like required tools, safety checks, quality standards, and what “done correctly” looks like. Use simple language, short sentences, and consistent formatting so anyone can follow it. Include photos where possible—visual steps reduce mistakes and speed up training. Finally, review the SOP with someone who actually performs the task, then update it whenever the process changes.
