What Are SOPs?

Creating an SOP
- Go to SOPs in the sidebar
- Click Add SOP
- Fill in:
- Title: What this procedure covers
- Steps: Numbered instructions
- Photos: Optional but helpful
- Related Equipment: Link to equipment if relevant
Good SOP Examples

Using SOPs for Training
When you hire someone new:
- Assign them to read relevant SOPs
- Have them shadow an experienced employee
- Quiz them on key procedures
- Check off training as complete
