This is somewhat understandable, as all these terms relate to the way specific work should be carried out. Nevertheless, there is an important difference between a process and a procedure, as well as a clear difference between a procedure and a work instruction. To properly understand how all these concepts differ from one another and to prevent mistakes, we explain the differences once and for all in this blog.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the difference between a process and a procedure?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To properly understand the distinction, we start with the term that represents the highest level: the process. A process describes what happens in order to achieve a specific goal. The focus is on the main lines, such as the path from raw material to finished product or from customer demand to delivery. Processes show the sequence of activities and illustrate how different departments or responsibilities are connected. This creates an overview of the entire chain. And this is exactly where the difference between a process and a procedure arises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A procedure operates one level deeper. While a process mainly indicates which steps are required, a procedure describes how these steps should generally be carried out. This may involve responsibilities, as well as criteria and standards for executing the steps. In general, procedures are intended to ensure consistent and safe execution. In other words:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A process<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> = an overview of activities, explained at a high level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A procedure<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> = a description of how these steps should be carried out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you distinguish a process from a work instruction?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to processes and procedures, there are also work instructions. These go one level deeper than procedures and describe in detail how an action must be carried out. To provide support, work instructions may include step-by-step plans, photos, videos, or checklists. Work instructions are particularly important for employees who are daily responsible for executing procedures. The difference between a procedure and a work instruction therefore lies in the level of detail and the (visual) support for execution. You could represent the difference between a process and a procedure, followed by the difference between a procedure and a work instruction, as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Process \u2192 Procedure \u2192 Work Instruction<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the difference between procedures and processes in practice?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In theory, the difference between a process and a procedure seems fairly straightforward. To translate this clarity into practice, we provide three practical examples in which the difference between \u2018process and procedure \/ procedure and work instruction\u2019 becomes clearly visible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Example 1: Starting up a production line<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Process:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Preparing the production line, starting it up, producing, inspecting, and shutting it down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Procedure:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The sequence in which the line is started, which safety checks must be carried out, and which role holds responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Work instructions:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Specific actions such as \u2018Check whether sensor X is clean\u2019 \u2018Turn valve Y to position 3\u2019, or \u2018Attach component Z according to the photo\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Example 2: Quality control<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Process:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Periodic inspection of product quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Procedure:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Description of which parameters must be checked and how often this occurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Work instructions:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Exact explanations of the measuring instrument, the correct settings, and how the results must be recorded in the system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Example 3: Maintenance activities<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Process:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Preventive and corrective maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Procedure: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who performs the maintenance, within which time intervals work is carried out, and which safety rules apply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Work instructions:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Specify which parts must be lubricated, how a filter is replaced, and which torque values must be applied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these examples, it is clear that processes provide direction, procedures offer structure, and work instructions enable actual execution. If one of these levels is missing, errors, variations in execution, or inefficient working situations are more likely to occur.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questions about processes or instructions within your factory?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope that the difference between a process and a procedure or work instruction is now clear once and for all. Optimizing processes, procedures, and work instructions can have a major impact on quality, safety, and efficiency. However, creating, managing, and digitizing them is a discipline in its own right.
