In manufacturing, capturing and standardizing your Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) is crucial for efficiency, quality control, and safety. This post highlights 7 key risks that arise when SOPs are poorly documented or inaccessible, including:
- Lack of Standardization: Inconsistent processes lead to quality issues and errors.
- Insufficient Training: Employees need clear guidance to avoid costly mistakes.
- Low Adoption: Difficult-to-access SOPs hinder adherence and efficiency.
- Lost Tribal Knowledge: Failing to capture expert knowledge leads to ineffective procedures.
- Outdated SOPs: Processes evolve, and SOPs need to keep pace.
- Noncompliance: Outdated or unclear SOPs can lead to legal and safety issues.
- Compromised Safety Culture: Prioritize safety with clear, accessible procedures.
Video-based SOPs offer a solution to these challenges. They’re easier to create, understand, and update, ensuring your team has the knowledge they need to succeed.
