Applying Quality Standards Assess Quality of Received Materials PURPOSE OF STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE Creating and implementing as accurate SOPs as possible has many benefits in the company’s operations, turnout, and making every employee's working habits more routine. When employees follow the accurate and acceptable steps in SOP, it has an impact on costs, inventory, delivery, safety, and quality. Following SOPs in everyday work also reduces expenses, variation, and throughput time therefore increasing productivity for every workstation and facility. EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, 2007, 6.) BENEFITS OF STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE The use of SOP within an organization is a continuing progress for developing end-results of products. Developing and implementing SOPs in operations minimizes variation and advances quality even if the personnel changes are temporary or permanent. Therefore, SOPs can also be used as a part of personnel training. A proper standard operating procedure for industrial fields should contain the following steps: INITIAL START-UP. What is to be done before the actual work starts for safety such as starting the machines and checking their different parts if they are functioning properly? NORMAL OPERATIONS/PROCEDURES. What regular steps does the workstation contain so that the work is done properly and safely? It also tells in which order those steps are to be performed.  EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN/OPERATIONS. How to react when machines fail, or accidents happen. NORMAL SHUTDOWN. How to perform safe and right shutdown for machines after the shift. START-UP FOLLOWING TURNAROUND. How long does it take to perform certain start-up procedures in the station?  PICTURES. Take pictures of every step to SOP so even not-so-experienced employees can check what each step means and is connected to. POSSIBLE PROCEDURE TIMES. Possible times of certain steps and the whole procedure. This can provide crucial information about throughput time. CONSEQUENCES OF DEVIATION. What to do when deviations occur, where to report, and what actions to correct deviations.  POSSIBLE HAZARDS OF THE PROCEDURE. Point out the possible hazards that might cause accidents and how to prevent them from happening, for example, safety gear. QUALITY FACTORS STEPS THAT MIGHT HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE POINTED OUT. Employees can focus on that step more effectively and make sure no deviations occur or get past that point. SPECIFICA TION OF Hardware refers to all of the physical parts of a computer system. A MATERIAL traditional desktop computer, comprises the main system unit, a display screen, a keyboard, a mouse, and sometimes a printer, speaker, webcam, and external and internal tangible parts are also included S AND COMPONE NTS MATERIALS WIRE – refers to a single strand of metal capable of transmitting power or data from one area to another. Wires are often protected in a plastic covering that is sometimes color-coded to aid in identification.  Cables – may refer to others as a cord, connector, or plug. A cable is one or more wires covered in plastic that transmit power or data between devices or locations. The power cord is one example of thousands of other cables found in and around computers. There are two main types of computer cables, a data cable and a power cable. A data cable is a cable that provides communication between devices. For example (i.e., DVI, HDMI, or VGA) that connects to the monitor and allows it to display a picture on the screen. Other popular examples of data cables include the CAT5, IDE/EIDE, SATA, and USB cables. A power cable is any cable that powers the device. The power cord that connects inside the computer is also called a power cables. TYPES OF CABLES ØAT – used with early keyboards ØATA – used with hard drives and disc drives CAT5 – used with network cards  COAXIAL – used with TV and projectors  COMPOSITE – used with TV, projectors, and consoles. Also known as RCA cables.  Display port – used with computer monitors  DVI – used with monitors, projects, and other displays.  eSATA – used with external drives  HDMI – used with monitors, projectors, DD/Blu-ray players, and other displays  MIDI – used with musical keyboards and other equipment  Molex – Power cable used inside your computer  IDE/EIDE – used with hard drives and disc drives  Parallel – used with printers  PS/2 - used with a keyboard and mice  SATA – used with hard drives and disk drives  USB – used with keyboard, mouse, printer, and thousands of other devices  VGA/SVGA – used with monitors and projectors
