systemize

Bring under method

Systemize means to arrange according to a system—to organize into a coherent, orderly structure.

You systemize a process by establishing consistent procedures: We need to systemize how we handle customer complaints.

The word is interchangeable with systematize, though systematize is more common in formal writing.
