I've been at a company for a week and I've been tasked with the job of re-writing the BRC Quality Manual to cover all clauses in the standard.
Over the past 2 years I've seen 5 difference QM's which all have 3/4 folders titled policy/procedures, SOP's or Work instructions, forms, schedules.
Now i understand that the SOP's are basically a step by step guide to be taken into production (how to do it). The forms are blank forms to be filled in and the third folder contains the policy /procedure which I think is a more detailed version of an SOP (what we do). While schedules are pre planned tasks.
My new boss keeps questioning why we need so many folders, and as i've always done it this way, I thought it was normal.
So can anyone help me out with definitions, especially the difference between a Procedure and an SOP?
Do you agree that an SOP is a simplified, idiot proof training guide, whereas a procedure is the more detailed info required in the standard
Whats the definition of a Policy.
Might seem basic questions, but i hope you can clear my confusion
