Operating Systems & SOPs

Operations become inconsistent when critical knowledge lives only in the owner’s head or varies by manager and shift. Cole documents the essential work, simplifies handoffs, defines standards and decision rights, creates usable checklists and tools, and establishes training and review routines. SOPs are designed for the floor—not a binder that nobody opens.

What this work is designed to deliverRepeatable execution, clearer accountability, faster training, and less dependence on individual memory.
