What it is
Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are written, step-by-step instructions a company uses to perform its work consistently.
A hypothetical example
Illustrative: a regional distributor maintains 300 procedures for receiving, picking, returns and safety, updated yearly and linked to training.
What makes it useful
- Real procedures actually used, not templates
- Version history showing how the procedures changed
- Links to related forms, checklists and training
Rights and sensitivity questions
- Were any procedures written by or for a client under contract?
- Do they contain employee personal data?
How to recognize it without exporting it
Ask: "Do you keep a formal procedures manual, and how many processes does it cover?"
