How Sopatra Is Revolutionizing SOPs

USA, October 3, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SPEC Innovations, the developer of the first cloud-native, model-based systems engineering solution, has released a new software product, Sopatra. Sopatra, which is powered by Innoslate, is the first cloud-native software tool that uses artificial intelligence to turn Standard Operating Procedure Documents into process models.

SPEC Innovations

SPEC Innovations provides software, training, and consulting to the defense and aerospace industries as well as the intelligence community. Innoslate, their software product, is the first cloud-native, model-based systems engineering software solution only made in the US.

Exploring Sopatra

Sopatra is a digital assistant that will convert text to an LML Action Diagram and will execute the simulation automatically to check all possible paths through the procedure. Sopatra was designed to demonstrate the improved creation of SOPs by the automated creation and verification of SOPs using a digital assistant (DA).

SPEC Innovations’ vision for Sopatra is:

Automated Text Entry and Analysis
Automated Voice Recognition Entry and Analysis
Automated Mixed Reality Entry and Analysis
Simulation and Analysis of Standard Operating Procedures

It has to be noted that Sopatra is powered by Innoslate. Innoslate is a model-based systems engineering solution used by thousands of engineers and analysts across the globe. This solution provides an end-to-end system lifecycle solution. Their Data Management provides bulk editing, advanced query search, rollup, labels, customized reports, and more. Their Schema Editors allow customization and flexibility, while their modeling offers full SysML, LML, and DoDAF. The models can be simulated to find variance in cost, schedule, performance, and risk.

What Are SOPs?

A standard operating procedure (SOP) is a set of steps and instructions created by a business or organization to assist their employees to carry out routine operations. SOPs aim to achieve efficiency, quality output and uniformity of performance. This is meant to be done while reducing miscommunication and failure to comply with the specific industry’s regulations.

But according to Dr. Steve Dam, SOPs can be flawed. Operator tasks to complete an SOP are often long and complex. Seeing that the most important part of SOPs are indicators/cues, the operator may need to have long-term memory (LTM) to follow it through. Due to human error, the operator may not be able to remember when to complete specific steps and this may lead to a catastrophe in an emergency. The solution to these problems are using modelling and simulation to identify SOP problems early. Sopatra is able to do this.

How Sopatra Operates

The original SOP, which is formatted, follows a NLP processing conversion of text SOP to become a functional model. This will then generate a suitable SOP. Supporting documents are involved in this process, such as acronyms, input devices, output displays and time distribution databases. The acronyms, output display, and input device files are all in simple list formats, while the text and word files are created with expert industry knowledge and are able to be edited.
Users are able to create more reliable SOPs in four simple steps, using Sopatra:

Import

Users can import their Standard Operating Procedures and related materials into the Text to Diagram automation via NLP technology. Guides are available for users to successfully format the SOP for a better import process.

Model

Once the SOP has been imported, Sopatra will do the modeling. Users are able to add attributes to each procedural step, add or delete steps, create a decomposition of steps, and more.

Verify

Once the model has been created, users can run their model in a Discrete Event Simulator. This ensures the new process works and provides users with analytics such as Time of Performance, Gantt Chart, and Tree Map.

Analyze

Users then have the opportunity to check variance. This can be achieved by running the model in the Monte-Carlo Simulator. Users will then receive valuable analytics on Procedure Buffer Time (PBT), Allowable Operating Time Window, and Probability of Failure to Complete.
