Standard operating procedures or SOPs are step-by-step instructions used across many industries like healthcare, aviation, and the military to achieve predictable and standardized results. The military sometimes uses the term "standing operating procedure" instead of "standard" to refer to unique procedures for individual units. SOPs are part of longer overall processes and are important for ensuring food and drug safety.

Standard operating procedure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the 2008 documentary film by this name, see Standard Operating Procedure (film). The term standard operating procedure, or SOP, is used in a variety of different contexts, including healthcare, aviation, engineering, education, industry, and military. The U.S. military sometimes uses the term Standing rather than Standard Operating Procedure, because a military SOP refers to a unit's unique procedures, which are not necessarily standard to another unit. "Standard" could imply that there is one (standard) procedure to be used across all units. Such procedures are a set of step-by-step instructions to achieve a predictable, standardized, desired result often within the context of a longer overall process. For food and drug safety, the related Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures are used.
