  • Manufacturing document format?

    Posted by Herbnerd on March 18, 2025 at 2:57 pm

    I feel our current manufacturing documents are far too wordy and complex. The production staff are not necessarily following the instructions correctly, and many have English as a second language so there may also be a comprehension issue involved too

    I found previous production operators were writing in a notebook rather than follow the manufacturing instructions

    Is anyone able to share any information or the format of their manufacturing documents? I am curious to see how other cosmetic manufacturers structure their manufacturing instructions.

    Any help/suggestions would be gratefully received.

    SOP or batch sheet - in a language operators understand. You do not want them making product from memory, even short term memory, so it has to be immediately available to the operator and simple enough to be followed with ease.

      Absolutely agree with you - but as before, ours are far too complex.

    Can you write it to see how complex it is
