Description
A standard operating procedure (SOP) is a set of systematic instructions compiled by an organization to help workers carry out complex routine operations. SOPs aim to achieve efficiency, quality output and uniformity of performance, while reducing miscommunication and failure to comply with regulations. They also help ease the process of handing over duties from one staff to another.
