Manufacturing SOP Software

Keep production instructions connected to the teams responsible for them. SOPFlow gives manufacturing teams a place to draft, review, publish, teach, and follow procedures across shifts.

Start with work your team repeats

  • Shift handover and exception reporting
  • Quality inspection preparation
  • Maintenance request intake
  • New operator orientation

Capture the browser part with SOP Recorder

Record the web-based part of a maintenance request, quality record, or inventory handoff. Review the captured steps and add the physical checks, approved methods, and escalation rules that a browser recording cannot observe.

A concrete procedure to try

Pass a maintenance request to the next shift

Illustrative workflow; not a customer case study or a promised result.

SOPFlow run for pass a maintenance request to the next shift, showing required checks and recorded evidence.
SOPFlow run interface · Fictional example records
Owner
Shift lead; the maintenance team maintains the request procedure.
Trigger
A request remains open at shift change.
  1. Open the request and confirm the equipment reference and current status using example data.
  2. Add the information the next shift needs, including the responsible team and any approved restrictions.
  3. Review the handoff with the receiving person and record the next action.
  4. Test the procedure with both shifts and revise any unclear instructions.

Completion evidence

Request reference, receiving role, and a handoff note. Keep equipment safety instructions in their approved source.

How to evaluate the result

Check for missing request details, repeated questions, and whether the next shift can find the current instructions.

Prepare, handle exceptions and keep a record

Before starting
Access to the open request, the equipment reference and the approved restriction record. This example covers the administrative handoff, not equipment operation.
When to pause
If the equipment reference or approved restriction is unclear, stop the administrative handoff and ask the maintenance lead to clarify. Do not infer that equipment is safe to operate.
Completed sample record
Example request M-104; equipment DEMO-02; status awaiting maintenance review; receiving role night-shift lead; next action confirm review time.
Acceptance check
Confirm the receiving lead can find the request, reads back the next action and knows which approved instructions apply.
Maintenance trigger
Review after a change to the request system, team responsibilities or approved handoff requirements.

Make responsibility and the current version clear

Map plants, lines, or teams on the org chart and assign an accountable owner to each SOP. Use the published reader for current instructions, and keep draft revisions separate. Add training assignments and recurring runs where they support the work.

What a useful pilot should prove

Choose one procedure used by two shifts. Check whether both can find the current release, identify the owner, and record the required evidence. Ask each shift to report unclear steps and review those corrections together.

SOPFlow supports procedure and evidence management. It does not certify your quality system or replace approved equipment instructions, workplace training, or your own regulatory assessment.

Build the first procedure your team will use

Create a workspace and start with one process. Bring existing text or use SOP Recorder on an eligible plan, then review the draft with the team that performs the work. Plan, storage, user, and AI limits apply.
