Standard Operating Procedures

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are a valuable tool to providing an efficient and effective workplace.  SOPs are just that, a standard in the way one process or procedure is carried out, related to a given activity.  These are the roadmap to ensuring that the necessary steps are taken and accurate data are collected when a process is performed. SOPs can be developed on any action from how to properly fill out a report, to how to maintenance a specific piece of equipment.  One of the goals of an SOP is that they become a training document on how your organization wants a specific job carried out.  Most SOPs will include the task to be completed, the steps necessary to complete those task, any tools required, and in some cases, an estimate of how many employees, and the number of hours necessary.  New hires can easily be trained on those jobs, given a copy of the SOP and sign a form stating that they have been trained.  This will serve as a record for both your employees and the organization. Metz Group LLC will meet with our clients and help develop SOPs that are relevant, sustainable and easily followed by ensuring that only the most important steps are included.
