Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

« Back to Glossary Index

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), or procedures, are comprehensive guides that delineate the sequence and protocols necessary for executing specific tasks or processes with consistency and efficiency. Crafted to streamline operations, minimize variations, and uphold regulatory compliance, SOPs serve as an essential framework within an organisation to ensure safety, quality, and uniformity. They encompass step-by-step instructions, safety measures, equipment handling guidelines, and documentation requirements, thereby facilitating consistency, reliability, and adherence to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards across diverse operational facets within pharmaceutical manufacturing.
