An operations manual<\/strong> can <\/em>be a wonderful document, centralizing information on processes, procedures, company hierarchy, important business policies, and the like.<\/p>\n

However, operation manuals can <\/em>also be useless if they're not written, managed, and used properly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Therefore, you need to audit your operations manual<\/strong> to ensure it's the best it can be.<\/p>\n

That's why the team at Process Street<\/a> - which is state-of-the-art BPM software<\/a> - created this Internal Audit Procedure for an Operations Manual. This audit procedure is best practice<\/strong> and made in line with ISO 9001<\/a> and the broader ISO annex L<\/a> framework.<\/p>\n

Here's how it works.<\/p>\n

First, you'll enter the basic details<\/strong> of the audit program manager and auditee. Then, the audit will be prepared<\/strong> for and the auditing team will be defined and assigned<\/strong> to their tasks.<\/p>\n

Once that's out of the way, the audit procedure will get into full flow, and specific sections<\/strong> such as leadership, planning, support, operations, and performance will be assessed<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The audit findings<\/strong> will then be reviewed<\/strong>, a report prepared<\/strong>, and a meeting held<\/strong>. Any changes that should be made can then be.<\/p>\n

It's as easy as that.<\/p>\n

The team at Process Street recommends auditing an operations manual regularly<\/strong>. This could be every 3-6 months, given the ever-changing nature of business operations, business processes<\/a>, and business procedures.<\/p>\n

For best results, users are encouraged to edit the checklist<\/a> and modify the contents to best suit their use cases, as this procedure cannot provide specific guidance on the particular risks and controls applicable to every situation.<\/p>\n
