Effective SOPs: Make Your Standard Operating Procedures Help Your Business Become More Productive
Do your Standard Operating Procedures help your business to improve its performance?Standard Operating Procedures, or SOPs, are an essential part of any business to ensure that quality and consistency occur like clockwork. They’re essential, amidst the busy-ness of day to day working.
Unfortunately, SOPs are often under-utilised, and this short book can help you to get so much more out of your SOPs by making them part of your day-to-day management approach. Most businesses fail to use their SOPs effectively, relegating them to become a bunch of documents that get filed away, never to be looked at again!
They can make your business better!SOPs can be used as a tool to help you increase the performance of your business, if you use them in the right way. Whether you are new to SOPs or have come across this book as part of your search for Lean manufacturing books, the ideas contained in this practical guide can help your business regardless of which sector you operate in.
If you are responsible for a quality management system (such as ISO 9001), or are trying to keep control of your continuous improvement projects, a robust approach to SOPs is vital. They can speed up training and reduce the effort it takes to bring new team members into your business. They help establish how your business processes should be run and well written SOPs bring clarity to the entire team.
This book isn’t a typical business textbook and includes the following refresher on how SOPs can benefit your business.
Effective ways to create your SOPs.
The idea of ‘writing pairs’ to create even more effective SOPs.
Creating a ‘SOP map’ to better use SOPs in an ongoing way.

Good but requires background knowledge about SOP
Easy to understand book, it talks how to handle the SOP's in effective way
but it don't explain the structure of the SOP or how to make them

Interesante, pero muy breve
Me agrada el estilo pero deja muchos cabos sueltos. Es bueno como consulta y tiene buenos recursos, pero no logra profundizar en nada.
