STANDARD. OPERATING. PROCEDURE.
The ‘simple stick’ approach to recording your standard operating procedures and work instructions
Stunning, simple, practical templates
Do you or your business own an iPad? If so, this system could be for you ✅
I often design and construct my furniture in such a way that my clients or their tradespeople can easily access covered plumbing and electrical installations. I also ensure that appliances are accessible, even when built in behind plinths or panels. However, I am aware that without clear instructions, removing these access panels or components may not always seem straightforward. As such, I have developed this efficient and effective system for documenting the necessary steps. I simply share a copy with my client for future use.
As a by-product, this system is also the perfect solution for documenting repeatable tasks or processes within the workplace or home.
If you run a craft or construction based business, or any other business where there would be a clear benefit to recording processes, work breakdowns or standard operating procedures, then this system may just be what you need.
