Procedure (business)

A procedure defines how to implement one or several activities of a business process.[1] It identifies the sequence of steps, and specifies for each step what needs to be done, when, and by whom.[2]

A standard operating procedure is a standardized document that describes the details of a procedure for the execution of routine activities. It includes relevant quality criteria and references to business rules, standards, or regulations, so to ensure efficient execution and homogeneous outcome.

Each individual step of a procedure may be further explained in detailed work instructions.[3]
