Example: Listing Steps in the Process

The preexamination phase of our ammonia testing is shown below. Notice that the process is broken down into steps and space is provided next to each step, which will allow the personnel who are assessing the process to record deviations from the written procedural documents while they observe the performance of the tasks. They may also want to add other comments related to potential risks that could occur at that step in the process or may want to note that potential risks at that step have already been addressed, perhaps by the manufacturer of the test system. You can add as much detail as you deem necessary. You can simply list the steps, create a table, as we have done here, create a flow diagram, or use another method that you prefer. Whatever your approach, try to include all the steps that are needed to accomplish the process from start to finish.
