What is SOP (Standard Operating Procedures)

I will not give you any definitions on SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) In some or the other way we follow some SOPs designed by our community, religion, etc

Example(s):
When you go to a temple: you join your hands & pray
When you are born: you have to follow the SOP of life i.e. school, work, marriage, children, retirement.
Thus, our culture is nothing but a standard way to follow a particular process Similarly- SOP for business is a Standard way to follow a particular process.

But what is “Standard” in the Operating Procedure- has to be defined by you which can be the best fit to the process.

Example:

Process name is: Get slim in 60 days
According to Mr. A- Maintaining strict diet & 30 mins of walk daily will achieve his target- So this becomes the SOP of Mr. A- for the Process called- Get Slim in 60 days
According to Mr. B- Rigorous exercise of 01 hr daily maintaining the same diet- will achieve his target- So this become the SOP for Mr. B- for the process called- Get Slim in 60 days

Thus, you have to define the Best Fit “Standard” to your business “Processes”
Don’t: Do not follow others SOP- since the process is same. Since you know your business best- define or choose the “Standards” yourself to streamline your processes.

Now, friends, it’s the time to take our first step towards “organising our business”
