Standard operating procedures

 Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are the documented processes that a company has in place to ensure services and/or products are delivered consistently every time. When a company is growing, it is often highly dependent on the owner for all major decisions. As the company reaches a certain size, this form of decision making can limit its capacity to grow further since the owner cannot possibly make all decisions properly. Additional management and documented SOPs are required to allow the company to continue growing, and also establish a succession plan and train the growing employee base.  http://www.divestopedia.com/definition/967/standard operating-procedures-sop

Quality Checks

An example of this could be a football, before the premier league commit to a particular football make and design it will be checked repeatedly for its quality – Remember the world cup in South Africa Can you come up some equipment that will need to be checked in sport and say what tests you would complete ?

Safety Checks
