Sample Procedures
Below are some sample procedures illustrating ways of documenting several typical process flows. These are for illustration purposes only. Some customization will be necessary for use in a specific organization.
These procedures are all written at a high level. An example of a more detailed procedure can be found under Sample Work Instruction.
Sample High-Level Procedure 
This procedure includes key actions and controls for assessing a disruption of business.
It does not contain detailed explanations of how each action is performed.
Sample Procedure Incorporating a Delay
A given process may occur over days, weeks, or even months due to necessary delays in the process. This procedure
illustrates a process in which some amount of time is expected to pass between consecutive steps.
Sample Procedure Incorporating a Partially Automated Process
When a process includes some automation, such as a software-based or mechanical system,
it is important to highlight the actions the owner of the process must take in order to initiate the automated
steps. This procedure illustrates a process with several automated steps.
Sample Procedure Incorporating Multiple Decision Points
Often, a process can occur several different ways depending on some input or the result of one
of the actions in the process. This procedure illustrates a process with several decision points that determine which
actions are performed to complete the process.
