In carrying out the company's operational activities, whether it is a small to large scale company, with various scopes of work and different backgrounds from human resources/employees, a reference is needed to align the work system so that the vision and mission can be achieved. References are often known as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

Whereas SOP is a work guide that is designed and made systematically and aims to create standardization to make it easier for employees to complete work and no less important to minimize work errors. A very important system helps the process of development and progress of the company.

Based on various sources summarized by the editor, the following are the functions and benefits of SOPs for a company in general. And of course, it is hoped that all SSI personnel can read them wherever they are.

SOP function

1. Guidelines and legal basis, anticipate various kinds of unexpected situations that may be faced by the company and at the same time become a reference for carrying out work. SOPs can also be used as a legal basis in case of irregularities in the company.

2. Making work easier, we often don't realize that SOPs have made it easier and helped us in getting the job done. All activities become more organized and orderly. Clear guidelines and working boundaries between units.

3. Discipline all levels within the company, Implementing SOPs properly and correctly helps bring all levels of the company in a positive direction to be more disciplined and responsible for work. For example, if employees arrive late to the office or leave office hours on time, they can be subject to sanctions according to the provisions stated in the SOP, which will certainly reduce jealousy between employees because of different treatment if the action for violations is not regulated in the definite provisions (SOP).

4. Detection of obstacles experienced by employees, SOPs can anticipate unexpected things in the company's operations, including obstacles that are or will be experienced by employees. If the obstacles are known, then the company can find ways to fix them

SOP Benefits

1. Train employees' independence, trained employees are more independent and do not depend on management intervention/direction. Leaders/Top Management can focus more on solving the company's strategic problems than on technical issues.

2. Avoiding the overlapping of the implementation of tasks, all work, tasks, and activities of employees have been arranged according to their portions and proportions. There will be no overlap in carrying out tasks.

3. Standardization of completing work, SOP is automatically used as a reference or standard to complete and succeed in work.

Thus sharing from the editor, hopefully it can be useful for SSI people. Keep the spirit and give the best contribution for the company we love
