A method of procedure (MOP) is a detailed examination of processes behind an operation. Operations could include installing a new server in a data centre, maintaining technical equipment in a laboratory or breaking ground on a construction project.

In construction, a method of procedure is much like a construction management statement, which ensures that possible impacts that may arise from the works have been appropriately identified, managed and minimised.
