- 1982, management meeting.
- However, the statements or associated action descriptions do not contain suf-ficient information to reflect the extent to which you have reviewed these areas and your conclusion as to whether or not you have identified all needed corrective actions'he "OBJECTIVE" statements should summarize the results of your assessment of your problem areas, and include your evaluation of findings from all sources such as

There should be a description of the method you intend to use to measure the effectiveness of your corrective actions and the decision process you will use to adjust your program in the event, the actions are not effective.
