Industry audits* prove that non-existent, out of date, or inaccurate procedures have caused billions of dollars in lost revenue, litigation costs, equipment damage, loss of brand loyalty and personal injury. Standard Operating Procedures are required to be reviewed every 2 years at a minimum. Writing procedures as Microsoft Word documents means that every 2 year review period is a complete re-write, costing millions of dollars to redo work. Why do this?
Our professional procedure writers use our own MobilOps™ solution to write procedures faster, as formatting time is eliminated. Reviews and edits are vastly reduced, and procedures are maintained in a database tool that is streamlined through global search and replace, one change changes all content management. You can still output to or import from Word, but you will no longer need to manage your content with Word.
You can also output to PDF or via MobilOps™ to a mobile computing device used by the operator in the field, or link to document management systems for document maintenance. Safe Operating Conditions are maintained in separate tables yet tightly integrated to procedures, so that one change to an operating limit will automatically update all related procedures.
