5.1.3.7. Structure - Standing plan assessment

This is the periodic assessment of the activities specified in the element in order to establish and assure that activities are being carried out as intended. The assumption here is that results can only be obtained if work is done as planned and that improvements can only be there based on verified work carried out. The assessment can be done by several levels in the organization, such as by a staff coordinator or a team of managers (or combination of managers and employees), however the first assessment need to be done by people in the unit where the work is to be carried out. These assessments can be on an on-going basis as part of a planning process. But periodic review is needed for those issues – like new employees getting on board – which cannot be part of a regular planning process.
