Our Services
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) & Process Controls
A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) specifies how to carry out an activity within a process. As your business grows, existing processes will change as different people carry out the roles. Monitoring the variation of tasks becomes increasingly complex and time-consuming. Standardizing your processes (SOPs) ensures procedures are carried out the same way by every individual, each time, ensuring the outcome meets the standard expectation. SOPs are intended to eliminate safety risks and improve lead times, quality and customer experience –taking the guesswork out for your team.
With our business process improvement services, we create a document that clearly maps out operating procedures and accountabilities then work with your team to accelerate the building of standard operating procedures and promote team alignment. The focus of this is coordinating process standardization through cross-functional workshops that identify and align best practices. After process mapping has been completed, the natural next step is to develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) in conjunction with senior stakeholders, ensuring that all results are:
Complete (all necessary information is included)
Objective (facts only)
Coherent (following a consistent and rational thought process)
The SOPs can be utilized to promote leadership development for those that are working on career advancement opportunities and multi-skilling and can also be used as a tool to measure performance against expectations.

Enterprise Process Mapping
Process Mapping will improve any of your organizational process improvement projects by increasing the understanding of the flow of activities, information, technology, people and resources.
Our process mapping experts have significant experience in creating maps from a simple Value Stream to Enterprise Level 4 across most industries. Process maps can be used for training purposes, identifying role responsibilities, information technology solutions (where they need to be employed), important handoffs (that impact productivity) and defining opportunities to improve your current state.
Process improvement maps define the borders of current processes at a higher level to identify what is and isn’t currently working. This leads to the identication of pain points, waste, duplication of effort and unnecessary delays. Our workflow management solutions save our clients money by removing waste, bottlenecks and pain points that exist in your current state operations. Below are some of the reasons you may require process mapping:
Standardizing processes to remove variation
Training employees
Increasing efficiencies and productivity
Defining accountabilities and improving performance
Improving visibility between departments for necessary handoffs
Referencing for internal audits
Combined with the necessary operational experience and business consultancy services, we understand your circumstances regardless of their complexity. When you have repeatable, efficient processes, you have greater predictability on resource allocation, costs and customer service satisfaction leading to enhanced value for your organization.
