For some installations, a measurement and evaluation plan might be suitable. A measurement and evaluation plan is a structured way to measure, evaluate, and monitor the system’s performance. By taking part in setting up this plan, the users, user management, and your own management will know how the system’s performance is to be measured. In addition, you will be able to incorporate some of their ideas and tools, and they will be able to understand and concur with the plan, support you and feel part of the process, and provide you with feedback.

  4. Revise and upgrade the plan as necessary.

Major activities in using the plan are:

A typical measurement and evaluation plan might include the following items as objectives, with statements of recording frequency and the measurement tool to be used:
