Standard
Operating Procedure (SOP) Development
APS
specialists develop operating procedures for all types of industrial process and
manufacturing equipment. A clear, concise, accurate, user-oriented procedure
that incorporates appropriate graphics is a very effective way to train
personnel in the proper performance of job tasks.
An accurate, well-written
procedure is also an effective means for ensuring consistency of job performance
across different organizations and production shifts. For facilities without a
standard procedure format, APS documentation specialists assist in the design
and layout of procedure formats that meet the specific needs of the workforce.
Factors such as user reading level, language, work environment, and task
criticality are considered in the design of procedures.
