Creating a Procedure Manual for Specific Jobs

[Cody Shepherd]

Hello Technibblers,

I am at a point in this business where I feel I could benefit from creating some kind of procedure manual/checklist. This might make jobs go by faster and more accurate. Any reference material I can review to make sure I make the most accurate manual/checklists possible? Thanks again.

Note: I will be starting the process by documenting the steps I go through for some of my more common jobs, but any help would be great!

Cody, have a look at the tn bus kit.

It has a heap of forms, checklists etc.

Also, look up Karl W. Palachuk he has a good SOP blog and videos that could help you

Maybe use flow charts created with the free yEd

@Cadishead Computers I already own the Business Kit I am a huge fan of a couple of their forms, I use them routinely. They have a good checklist in there for reformats/backups, but none others that I am aware of. That would be a good place to start nonetheless. @4ycr Thanks for the suggestion I'll have a look at his blog today. @TurricanII It does seem that flow charts are common for this sort of thing. Maybe that's the best way to organize it, especially to avoid boring blocks of text. Thanks for the advice guys!

You might want to take a look at Process Street. It's free way to create and manage processes and workflows. I just started using it and I love it.

@Mike D thanks, I went ahead and signed up, I will be looking into their options in the coming week. @TechPJC I just looked into their software, looks like it might be right up my alley.
