PRP's V's SOP's
Hi Guys,
Just wanted something cleared.
PRP's outline WHAT it is we do,
and
SOP's are instructions on HOW we do it, correct?
So in writing my HACCP PRP's can I just give basic statements on what it is we are doing and reference the SOP that subject belongs to?

Hi AGomez,
What is the difference betweeen a Program and a Procedure ?

I would say a Program is general information regarding a subject while a Procedure is a step-by-step set of instruction pertaining to a specific subject.

I would say in a HACCP Prerequisite context they are semantically interchangeable but Program is usually in the definition. "Program" is also used in the Collective sense.
It depends, eg -

SOP is surely a far more general term than PRP but may also be used identically IMO
And then we have Work Instruction to assist a Procedure.
Charles C. that was the best explanation of policy, procedure, and program.
SOP - Standard Operating Procedure: A step by step instruction, like reading directions, of how the task is to be handled, completed or accomplished.
