Must have for any business...

[Sly76]

Hi all,

I am the Quality Manager for a biotech company in San Diego and I just read the E-Myth book. Very interesting reading, I highly recommend it if you want to start any new business or if you already have a small business.

In the book, they recommend to develop and maintain an Operating Manual in order to make all processes standard and consistent for all employees. I've been creating, revising, managing Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for over a decade and I was wondering if anybody has question on the subject, I would be happy to help.

Writing those documents is harder than it appear and managing the Manual can be confusing too. Tell me what you think!

Sly
