Developing Plant Operations Manuals and Procedures Workshop

This workshop shows you how to analyze your facility’s documentation needs and develop an effective plan to create clear and useable standard operating procedures and plant operation manuals. You will learn how to analyze your operational, maintenance and repair processes and develop the formats, standards and guidelines needed to create effective documents. You will receive the SOP Toolkit, a library of practical forms, checklists and helpful hints. Bring some of your existing resource documents – or just bring all that expertise stored up in your head – and reshape it into a prototype to kickstart development of your Plant Operation Manual or SOPs. This workshop will give you the confidence to move ahead and build the technical documentation library you need. A 5 hour workshop.
