A detailed explanation of how to carry out each step of task or procedure.
One or more WIs can accompany a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). While SOPs and a WI are valuable tools for quality control and standardization, they serve different purposes. SOPs outline the steps that must be followed to complete a task, while WIs details on how to carry out each step.
