OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES MANUAL DEVELOPMENT
The workshop is designed for the “Executive Team” (President, GM, VP of Operations, Operations Managers, VP Sales, Sales Managers…). It provides a practical guide for adopting and implementing an effective operation methodology to improve your organization’s financial and operational performances.
How Your Organization Benefits
This workshop uses our standard Operations Manual as a reference to develop and implement operational processes that are customized to fit your organization’s culture and makeup. The Operations Manual will play an important role as your organizations road map to success. It provides a systematic approach to implementing “Best Practices” and getting all of your employees actively involved. As an added benefit, The Operations Manual supports the EPC training programs and provides a tool to practice the training objectives. The implementation of a standard Operations Manual will improve your organization’s bottom line and your employees’ satisfaction.
