systemization
Creating ordered procedures
Systemization is the process of organizing something into a structured, methodical arrangement.
It implies creating order from chaos by establishing consistent procedures, categories, or frameworks: The systemization of patient records improved hospital efficiency.
The word often appears in contexts of business processes, data management, or scholarly classification.
Also spelled systematization.
