Standard Operating Procedure Template (SOP Template) Food Manufacturing Case Study
Client Problem
A leading food production company with headquarters in Pennsylvania needed get a better control over the many Standard Operating Procedures and Work Instruction associated with combining state-of-the-art agricultural and manufacturing technology with local farming in this region. The client wanted to standardize the SOPs and capture work instructions across a wide variety of very complex food production tasks, and needed a consistent way to present the information to the operators in a way that allowed for updates, revisions and allowed for training of seasonal emplyees.Solution
The food manufacturing company selected ExpressTrain as the Standard Operating Procedure Template (SOP Template) software because it allowed them to customize the standard operating procedures to meet their needs and provided a single-source knowledgebase for the approved SOP. ExpressTrain is being used to capture the content into a Standard Operating Procedure Template (SOP Template) which served as the input to a corporate singel-source database. Once entered into ExpressTrain, the manufacturing client was able to automatically generate a full set of SOPs, web-based tutorials, job aids, quick reference cards, and instructor-led training in PowerPoint. Of particular value to the manfucturing client was the ability to upgrade their ExpressTrain license to a plant-wide license providing comprehensive support to all company functions, including human resources and qaulity assurance.
Financial Impact:
The result of the development project created a capability for the client to better support the operations across the plant and to accommodate seasonal workers with appropriate training on new and improved SOPs. With ExpressTrain Standard Operating Procedure Template (SOP Template) software that created job aids, references, web-based training and task qualification checklists, the client has been improving operations for the past two years, which contributes to corporate overall performance.

Excerpt from White Paper:
The well-trained workforce with ready access to production knowledge is an invaluable asset rarely recognized on the balance sheet. Production costs are reduced because there is greater efficiency and less rework. This saves time and money and frees resources to be applied to other parts of the organization.Quote from Industry Leader:
Single-sourcing is a trend that is coming toward training developers in full force, as they seek to deploy learning content in multiple formats such as printed lesson plans, student guides, online learning, synchronized PowerPoint slides, job aides and learning content on mobile devices ... ExpressTrain provides a unique and affordable solution to single sourcing.- Bryan Chapman, Chief Learning Strategist, Chapman Alliance
