How do I convert my procedures into processes?

A MANAGED PROCESS

A DOCUMENTED PROCEDURE

  • Purpose
  • Scope and Applicability
  • Definitions
  • Inputs
  • Activities
  • Outputs
  • Reference documents

What you can do  depending on the scope of your procedure is to convert it into a process description (see Process Descriptions)
