Create a system to write, version, and distribute Standard Operating Procedures across your organisation.
Step-by-step guide
6 steps
- 1
Structure your SOP library
Group SOPs by department or function: Operations, Finance, HR, Customer Service. Each SOP needs a unique code, version number, and owner.
- 2
Build the system with Appaca
Prompt Appaca with "Build a SOP management system with version control, approval workflow, and employee sign-off tracking." Appaca builds the complete system.
- 3
Add version control
Each SOP should track its current version and maintain a history of all previous versions with change notes. This is critical for compliance.
- 4
Set up an approval workflow
New and revised SOPs should go through a review and approval process before being published to the organisation.
- 5
Add employee acknowledgement tracking
Some SOPs (especially safety and compliance related) require employees to confirm they have read and understood the procedure. Track these sign-offs by SOP and employee.
- 6
Set review reminders
Each SOP should have a scheduled review date. A dashboard view flags SOPs overdue for review.
