Introduction

All business activities are governed by work procedures. Much effort is spent on looking at how to establish and carry out procedures, and, while this is important, it sometimes overshadows the importance of effectively capturing and documenting the optimum method of carrying out the procedure.

This practical course shows how to design, develop, manage, control, implement, and monitor work procedures and associated Management System documents such as work instructions, forms, labels, and tags. It will also show how to analyze and simplify procedures.

Unique features of this seminar:

  • Presents a wholistic approach to typical Management System documentation structures, creation, implementation, management, and review
  • Focus on the need for clarity and how to achieve it
  • Hands-on procedure and other documentation writing
  • Explains how to analyze procedures in order to simplify them

Training will involve a high level of interaction and delegate participation. The intention is that the trainer will explain issues, using real examples, but will then involve the delegates in discussion, examples, and workshops, using the information provided.
