Standard Operating Procedure Briefings (SOPB) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) can help inform employees why something is done and how to do it. The SOPB reviews literature on management practises and communicates clearly the benefits and risks or negatives of a certain practise, and it can be used to help employees have a wider overview of the procedure. The SOP is a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to perform a practise. This is especially useful for training employees, but can be used as a reference by all employees if questions arise. Having a SOPB and SOP for new born pigs can help employees provide high quality care, and make management decisions.
