Why SOPForge

The real cost of SOP documentation

Most manufacturers either DIY it (slowly, inconsistently) or hire consultants (expensively, with months of wait). There's a better option.

DIY In-House
Hidden cost
$50–$100/hr in operator time
  • ✗ 40–80 hrs per SOP written from scratch
  • ✗ No standard format — every SOP looks different
  • ✗ Operators pulled off production to write docs
  • ✗ Knowledge still lives in one person's head
  • ✗ Incomplete, outdated, never ISO-aligned
  • ✗ Months of back-and-forth with no finish line
Real cost: $20k–$80k in lost productivity. Plus the SOP still isn't done.
Traditional Consultant
$20k–$50k+
$150–$300/hr · 3–6 month engagement
  • ✗ $150–$300/hr for someone learning your process
  • ✗ 3–6 month engagement before you see output
  • ✗ Deliverables in proprietary formats you don't own
  • ✗ No institutional knowledge transfer to your team
  • ~ ISO-aligned quality, sometimes
  • ~ Updates require rebooking at full rate
Real cost: $20k–$50k+ with months of wait. You own paper, not a system.
SOPForge
$4k–$8k
Fixed fee · 4–6 weeks · you own everything

FAQ

Common questions

How long does the sprint actually take?

Six weeks, start to finish. Weeks 1–2 are operator interviews and process mapping. Weeks 3–4 are AI-assisted SOP drafting. Weeks 5–6 are review, revisions, and training. You're not waiting months for a consulting deliverable — this moves fast.

What do I need to provide?

Access to your floor and your operators. That's it. We handle the rest — interviews, notes, formatting, and final SOPs. If you have existing notes, checklists, or manuals in any format, we'll incorporate those too. No prep work required from your team.

What format are the SOPs delivered in?

Print-ready HTML and plain text — optimized for shop floor printing. Each SOP follows a 10-section ISO 9001-aligned structure: Purpose, Scope, Responsibilities, Materials, Safety Precautions, Step-by-Step Procedure, Quality Checkpoints, Troubleshooting, Revision History, and Approvals. You own everything. No proprietary format lock-in.

Can I start with the free pilot before committing?

Yes — and we recommend it. Pick one process: your messiest, most tribal, most risky if someone quits. Send us the raw notes or just describe it to us. We'll generate a complete SOP at no cost. If it's not useful, you owe us nothing. Most teams see the output and book a sprint the same day.
