SOP stands for Standard Operating Procedure. It's a set of step-by-step instructions compiled by an organization to help workers carry out complex routine operations. SOPs aim to achieve efficiency, quality output and uniformity of performance, while reducing miscommunication and failure to comply with industry regulations. They are typically used in a professional context, where their aim is to outline the procedures that are necessary to complete tasks in accordance with industry regulations, provincial laws or just plain old corporate policy. SOPs can be found in all industries, but are particularly prevalent in pharmaceutical, medical, health care, military and government sectors.

SOP flow charts are widely used across various industries. In manufacturing, they can be used to outline the process of assembling a product. In healthcare, they can detail the steps for patient care procedures. In food service, they can illustrate the process of preparing a dish. In IT, they can depict the process for troubleshooting a software issue. Essentially, any industry that requires a standardized process can benefit from using SOP flow charts.
