- How does the risk-based procedure analyzer work?
SmartProcedure's Step-Analyzer-Module, or SAM, analyzes procedures step-by-step based on best practice human error reduction rules. These rules can be specific to step type (e.g. action, warning, caution, note) as well as procedure type (SOP, Administrative, Engineering, Start-up, etc.). The analyzer scans quickly, never gets tired, and assists the writers to ensure human error precursors are not embedded into the procedure.

- What is Procedure CBT?
Each SmartProcedure can be automatically output in an interactive computer-based-training (CBT) format,inclusive of multimedia (graphics, video, diagrams, etc.) for work guidance and instructional support. These Procedure CBT modules are automatically generated without any additional work by the writers. The CBT can be linked to any learning management system (LMS) for initial, refresher or just-in-time training and can incorporate 2 modes: 1) full training (every step and attachment); or 2) modified steps from last revision.
