Automated mangement of SOPs

Standard Operating Procedures: SAP integrated

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) help to standardize work processes in the company and are essential part of creating a successful quality system. The document management software cuSmarText SOP supports this process.

Standard Operating Procedures SOPs help to standardize workflows in the company, avoid errors and ultimately ensure consistent quality of products and services. Other advantages that arise from the implementation of standards are, for example a possible reduction in costs in the production process or consumer protection through a defined minimum of product quality. As a result, SOPs not only provide guidelines for employees, but also reflect the company’s internal quality standards.

Many industries rely on standardized operating procedures

SOPs are particularly common in industries involved in critical processes with potential environmental, health and safety impacts, such as the pharmaceutical and aerospace industries. Standardized workflows are also regularly encountered in the food industry, biotechnology, and public laboratories and research facilities.

Standardized operating procedures: The challenge of implementation

As useful and legally relevant as standard operating procedures are, their practical implementation can be challenging. Manually managing SOPs and supporting documents, monitoring deadlines and validity and ensuring document availability are often labor intensive and time consuming.

Document management facilitates standardized operating procedures

The document management software cuSmarText, which is integrated into SAP systems, considerably simplifies the entire “life cycle” of standarized operating procedures – from creation and distribution to monitoring and evaluation.
